A brilliant work of art by Wes Wilson! Here we have the FIRST CGC Graded example of the Original Pre-Concert First Printing of BG-39 to appear in our auction. Airplane member Marty Balin's recent passing late last year has spurred a massive interest in anything related to Jefferson Airplane a trend that's still in the earliest of stages. In addition this historic run of concerts took place right after Grace Slick joined the Airplane.
The BG-39 is beautiful and unique because it was produced using a “color wheel” technique which varies the ink color as it rolls down the print. As a result each poster made looked slightly different! The First Printings of this issue are extremely rare and seldom surface in public auctions. Many collectors believe that posters graded 8.5 by CGC represent the best value in the marketplace today. See our blog dated 1/31/18 to learn why demand is currently skyrocketing!
