This classic image from ’66 featured the Dead at the Fillmore and illustrated the ideals of the peace love and music. Original Fillmore posters from the very first year are RED HOT. Make it 9.6 Museum Quality Condition Grateful Dead and a super cool Wes Wilson design and you have an amazing collectible sure to always enjoy top demand. This example is practically flawless. It's very difficult for us to understand why it didn't get a 9.8 grade because it's extremely sharp bright and crisp like it was produced yesterday. Only ONCE have we auctioned one of a higher 9.8 grade and it realized $1392 in March 2018. Condition-wise this piece looks identical to that previously sold example.
