This classic Mouse/Kelley design has survived the test of time and is easily one of the most recognized images in all of Rock. Posters in this shape are worth thousands. This FD-26 Original Handbill offers you the opportunity to own the same famous art for far less. Pre-Concert First Printing Handbills of the FD-26 in this condition routinely realize $1200 and up.
