1966-Sokol Hall-Hells Angels Dance-Merry Pranksters-Big Brother & The Holding Co. RARE & HISTORIC! PAE Graded Extra Fine '67'

This very old 51+ year old poster embodies many of the central characters of the 1960’s -- The Hell’s Angels The Merry Pranksters and Big Brother and the Holding Company. The Grateful Dead were also in attendance but do not appear on the poster. As such it is an important historical artifact. It also features one of the best poster designs of the 1960’s the back of a leather motorcycle jacket designed by Gut one of the Hell’s Angels. Read the colorful story about Gut here. The poster is featured in The Art of Rock plate #2.247.

This poster seldom turns up in public auctions in ANY condition! In the past restored copies have regularly brought $3 000 - $3 300 at auction. The high water mark for MINT examples was $8 637.00 for an example certified by CGC we auctioned in February 2017. The one you see here is the kind of poster that would appeal to new collectors as it is much more affordable than what the high grade mint examples command. A great opportunity!
