We were lucky enough to come across this beautiful 9.9 supergraded example of this popular Grateful Dead issue and we're very happy to offer it now to the collecting community! This later edition original Avalon poster featured the Grateful Dead for a three night run in October of 1968. This Wes Wilson black and white image is from the later days of Family Dog at the Avalon. The budget was small for producing posters by this point in the series and the promoter was only able to produce black and white images. 


When it comes to quality condition and state of preservation the amazing CGC 9.9 numerical grade says far more than words could ever explain! We first discussed this opportunity in our blog dated 8/19/16 and recently updated it on 6/18/18. We highly recommend you read each blog carefully if you are interested in participating in this exciting segment of the marketplace.
