Universally recognized as one of the most popular and stunning posters in the entire Avalon series. This Original First Printing poster is the FINEST QUALITY CGC graded example of FD-22 we've ever auctioned! It was designed by poster legends Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse featuring the famous Frankenstein image and Grateful Dead has been misspelled too!
If you are a condition freak this poster will knock your socks off. Absolutely superb in every way. A true "Wonder Poster." According to Eric King's guide this issue has repeatedly been counterfeited over the years. CGC has brought much needed integrity and stability to this marketplace. The Original Pre-Concert First Printing Posters of "Frankenstein" very seldom show up in public auctions in this perfect shape.
This poster hits on three of the hottest areas: Early Family Dog CGC Graded Grateful Dead and TOP Museum Quality Condition! In early 2018 a similiarly graded 9.8 specimen realized $9 200 at auction!
