The 9.6 example of BG-11 offered here without a doubt the FINEST CGC graded example we have ever offered! Additionally we've only sold this issue ONCE prior and it was graded 7.0! This Fillmore Auditorium poster is an excellent example of Wes Wilson’s early work as a poster artist. Throughout the first 30 Fillmore posters you can track the development of the artists’ style. His experimentation with color combinations and lettering styles evolved dramatically during this period. By the time Wilson finished his tenure for Graham his style had matured and had set the bar high for all who followed.
Since the inception of PAE 10 years ago we have consistently advised collectors to focus on the first 30 issues of the Bill Graham series. History has proved our advise was correct then and we are sticking with it now. These early issues from the first year of the Fillmore Auditorium enjoy tremendous collector demand for the tiny and dwindling supply of high quality examples. We believe they represent amazing values at current price levels.
