This early Fillmore original printing BG-0 Handbill is the FIRST CGC graded example of this issue we have ever auctioned! “The Big 5” was a closed club of the best 5 male poster artists - No Girls allowed! MacLean designed this poster and its actual issuance was between BG3 and BG4 in the series. Bonnie was married to Bill Graham and managed the art department for the Fillmore. She was one of the most prominent artists in the Fillmore series.


Handbills are hot! Demand for CGC graded examples of this issue clearly overwhelm this tiny supply! These early original handbills from the first year of the Fillmore Auditorium represent amazing values at current price levels. This example is in Superb Museum Quality Condition with no nicks cuts tears or pinholes!
