It's a miracle this piece remains as fresh today as the day it was created. This original handbill is in perfect CGC graded 9.8 museum quality condition! An entire page in the Art of Rock is devoted to this series of spectacular posters and handbills on page 287.
In late January and early February of 1968 The Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service set out on a tour of the Pacific Northwest. The Tour was dubbed the Quick and the Dead and six different posters showing the six different venues were issued. The posters designed by George Hunter of The Charlatans featured a unique distressed “Wild West” motif that is very popular with collectors.
The buyer gets the CGC authentication AND a wonderful air tight holder to store this museum piece in! Handbills are hot right now and this is one of the most sought after ever created ! Read our blog dated 5/18/18 to learn more.
