This lot will be accompanied by a Letter of Provenance attesting to the fact that it resided in the historic Early '66 Time Capsule Collection one of the most exciting and important concert poster discoveries of the past 20 years.
The FIRST CGC graded specimen to EVER appear at public auction!
A testament to UC Berkeley’s good taste in student entertainment - Very early on these same acts would play the Fillmore as well. While not the absolute rarest of rare this issue is VERY difficult to find and all but impossible in this magnificent condition.
Many collectors believe that handbills 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!
