This poster is signed and doodled in pencil by the artist Stanley Mouse!
This incredible early Avalon Ballroom poster was created by Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse two of the most legendary artists of the era. The FD-17 is universally recognized as one of the most stunning posters in the entire Family Dog series. Just 1000 specimens were created. It's highly sought after and always competitively fought over whenever it appears at public auction.
The Original Pre-Concert FD-17's were printed with runs of Gold and Silver ink. This Original Version 2 shown here was printed in silver ink. It's less common and much harder to find than the gold ink version. This example is SIGNED by Stanley Mouse! Tape on the reverse attesting to it's original unrestored condition holds this back from a much higher grade. Should provide an exceptional value for the collector waiting for a signed example to surface with CGC Grading. Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot!
