It brings us joy to offer this super rare Grateful Dead poster for the FIRST TIME in our auction with CGC Grading! And oh what a poster it is! This 9.4 graded gem literally looks like it was produced this morning not almost 50 years ago! This is a very cool and highly sought after poster designed by artist Daniel Clyne for a Grateful Dead show in 1970. The large size and super thin paper guaranteed that very few exist today in ANY condition. This specimen must be included in any FINEST KNOWN CONDITION CENSUS.


This specimen was acquired directly from the late great underground illustrator Jay Lynch in 2016. Jay carefully preserved this poster in flawless Museum Quality condition for the past 46 years. A letter of provenance will be provided to the winning bidder that will distinguish this specimen from all others.
