This poster is signed and doodled in pencil by the artist Stanley Mouse!
Here we have a classic poster by Mouse & Kelley celebrating the first Anniversary of the birth of the Grateful Dead. According to Deadbase the first time the Dead played as such was on 12/4/65 in San Jose. This poster was made for an obscure venue called “The Old Cheese Factory” and it's a very early Mouse /Kelley /Grateful Dead collaboration. It was a marriage that would live on for decades. We have only offered this CGC graded issue ONCE before! In June 2017 a lower 9.4 graded example reached $1392 in our auction. This 9.6 is the FINEST CGC example we have ever handled and it will certainly enjoy spirited bidding from collectors wanting to own this historic signed original first printing poster! Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
