As only the SECOND example of this Handbill we have offered this lot here is a special stand-out item for us this month! Here’s your chance to acquire a CGC Graded Original Handbill of one of the most iconic and enduring images in the entire hobby. The famous FD14 “Zig-Zag Man” advertises a pair of concerts by Big Brother and The Holding Company and Quicksilver Messenger Service at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco California.
The poster for this concert featuring the same artwork is virtually unavailable in this condition and we will buy any mint copy for well into 5 figures. This is your chance to acquire the same beautiful artwork on a handbill for a tiny fraction of the price!
This Handbill is quite beautiful literally and we are hard pressed to understand why it did not receive a higher 9.6 grade. The paper is bright and crisp the colors are bold and fresh. And of course there are no pinholes tears folds nicks or restoration of any kind. A museum quality gem and you don’t have to take our word for it it has been independently graded and authenticated by CGC!
