This powerful poster for a cancelled Howlin’ Wolf show at the Avalon features another classic Mouse/Kelley design. The FD-27 issue was only printed before the concerts (there are no reprints) which makes this poster especially desirable and valuable. The shows themselves were cancelled but this classic image has remained a popular and important collectible in the series. 


In June 2017 a lower 9.2 graded example reached $1047 in our auction. However a 9.8 graded example brought $6612 at auction in April 2017. This exciting marketplace leads us to believe this beautiful 9.4 example will receive spirited bidding and realize lots of attention by the time this auction is completed! Museum Quality with no visible flaws of any kind!
