This is the first CGC graded example of this poster to appear in our auction! The hippies of the 60’s were raised during the boom of television sitcoms and violence which no doubt had an impact on how they viewed the world. This image by Wes Wilson exhibits the heady vision of a picture screen and electronics removed from the outer box. It’s original posters like this that represent a TREMENDOUS value. Don't be fooled. Anyone can say they have a decent copy but examples that meet the super strict CGC grading standards of 9.0 or better are a TINY fraction of surviving examples and are ridiculously undervalued and under appreciated at today's market levels.
