This poster is signed in black ink by the artist Lee Conklin!

Here we have a very rare OP-1 of this amazing issue being offered for only the second time with CGC Grading in our auction! This Original First Printing Lee Conklin poster is one of the more popular Grateful Dead posters from the BG series. The colors are all fiery red and orange to create a look of the band in flames. The Pre-Concert OP-1 versions seldom turn up at public auction in museum quality condition and when these rarities do appear they always receive tons of attention! This one bares a beautiful signature by the artist and it's the FIRST SIGNED example we've ever offered!
