At PAE we love seeking out vintage material and our goal is to offer the collecting community the most SPECIAL items. This lot exemplifies everything we enjoy about that process! This is the FIRST CGC Graded example of this difficult to find Bill Graham poster to appear at public auction! An early Pink Floyd title that seldom surfaces the BG-92 is one of those rare gems of the numbered series that was produced by a lesser known artist Nicholas Kounios. Legend has it that Kounios designed the wizard figure based on his interpretation of Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolken.
This run of shows at the Fillmore and Winterland during early November of 1967 featured the Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd and the new band Procul Harum. These were the first shows for the British-based Procul Harum and the band credited The Fillmore with helping to create their style. In addition Pink Floyd had actually been booked at the venue a couple weeks prior at the end of October (BG-90) however those shows were cancelled and re-scheduled for this November run because the US Immigration authorities delayed the issue of their work permits.
It cannot be overstated how scarce this poster is! We have only handled this title once prior and it was not certified by CGC. In July 2016 a similar PAE graded Mint 95 example realized $587 in our Mega sale. Simply by authenticating a collectible like this in any other market it would be worth several multiples of the previously sold examples. We firmly believe a piece like this will be no exception to those universal premiums. This example is in Museum Quality condition and the colors are bright & bold! Don't pass up this chance to acquire one of the most sought after posters of the BG series! It could be many years before we see another one.
