This poster is signed in ink by Grace Slick!
Among the first 30 of the Bill Graham series there are those issues that are “sleepers” and are under appreciated and then there are those issues that are already recognized as highly desirable rarities. This piece is the latter! The influence of the Texas Psychedelic Band 13th Floor Elevators on the San Francisco sound is well documented in the history books. The captivating Herb Greene photo of a doe–eyed Grace Slick (then a member of Great Society) is the centerpiece of this poster; the fabulous lettering of artist Wes Wilson surrounds her.
All that being said let's get down to the one important fact that will drive the price value that this incredible poster commands- it is a stone cold one of a kind item!
First this is the very FIRST CGC graded example to ever appear at public auction. Second this poster is signed by the legendary icon Grace Slick. Third this example is really clean with no restoration of any kind see details below.
