We are pleased to present the FINEST quality CGC graded example of the FD-8 Laugh Cure Original Poster to ever appear in our auction! It's no secret that the Family Dog seriece of concert posters is one of the most sought after and popular with collectors and the first 30 issues always enjoy top demand.
According to Eric King's Collector's Guide just 1000 specimens or less was produced of the first 13 Family Dog issues. ALL are highly sought after in ANY concdition due to their miniscule survival rates.
With today's collectors squarley focused on TOP QUALITY and 100 PERCENT ORIGINALITY WITH NO RESTORATION the opportunity to acquire unimprovable Museum Quality examples such as this are highly coveted and seized upon. Clearly current demand far exceeds the tiny available supply.
While other Gem examples may surface in the coming years the winning bidder of this lot will have the satisfaction of knowing that their example is the finest quality available at any price. In fact just one other example graded 9.8 has ever appeared at public auction commanding $3795 on 9/11/16. The market for this type of material has grown substantially over the ensuing 2 years so it will be interesting to see what the market price is today.
