In this sale we are offering a true piece of Acid Test/Grateful Dead history. The legendary San Francisco State Acid test ... otherwise known as “What Ever it is ?” was held on September 30 – October 2 1966. This was the last true Acid Test. LSD would be declared illegal within a couple of weeks and the Pranksters would hold the Acid Test Graduation a month later.
It's well known that Acid Test material enjoys a feverish cult following and any piece that surfaces ALWAYS enjoys top demand and bidding competition. When examining this lot you are truly holding "history in your hands".
The condition of this Original Pre-Concert First Printing is unimprovable and superb in every way. The flyer is 100% Original with no restoration of any kind. The flyer exhibits super fresh white paper razor sharp corners and is free from all nicks cuts tears or pinholes!
While Acid Test posters can EASILY trade for $25 000- $50 000 each in damaged condition this flyer represents a special opportunity to own a Museum Quality piece of Acid Test history at a far more digestible price point that is sure to catch the eye of many market observers.
