This 9.9 gem is the FINEST QUALITY CGC Graded example of this issue to appear at public auction! Talk about unique! Two original Grande cards joined together with perforations between them. A museum collectible in museum quality condition of John Mayall and Big Brother & The Holding Company!


When it comes to quality condition and state of preservation the CGC 9.9 numerical grade says far more than words could ever explain. The quality of this postcard is very special and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated! Everyone who views it does a double take. We have reported extensively that demand for CGC graded 9.9 material is insatiable. 


The Grande Ballroom series produced some of the finest imagery from the 1960’s music scene. In many cases promoter Russ Gibb chose to only produce postcards to promote events. That being the case Grande cards and card sets have become one of the most highly sought after items by serious collectors.
