This is only the third CGC Graded example of this OP-1 Original First Printing issue to appear in our auction! The FD 33 is one of the most sought after Grateful Dead posters in the Avalon Series. This striking yet simple design by Mouse and Kelly utilize the Family Dog logo in striking Green and Red. A very tiny fraction of the original issuance have survived the past 53 years! We sold a CGC graded 9.0 example for $2657 in July 2017.  This 7.5 graded lot represents a special opportunity for the collector looking to acquire this historic piece without having to pay the higher prices the Mint examples can command.
