This poster has been independently authenticated as an Original First Printing in pencil on the reverse by noted concert poster expert and historian Eric King!


This poster for a February 1970 Grateful Dead show at the Fillmore is one of the most requested Grateful Dead posters from the series. Demand for Original First Print Grateful Dead posters is growing rapidly as discussed in our recent blogs! In March 2018 a lower 8.0 graded example reached $691 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this 9.4 poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold 8.0 example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior example now!
