Original pre-concert first printing of Big Brother at the Avalon! The FD 93 poster by artist Joe Gomez is well known as a rather unique design in the Family Dog series. The artist only did a few posters for the Avalon but “Optical Occlusion” stands out because its bright color patterns remind us of some of the Neon Rose posters. As a Big Brother / Janis Joplin poster it has always been acquired by collectors and showcased in many fans’ treasure troves.
Anyone can say they have a decent copy but examples that meet the super strict CGC grading standards of 9.2 or above are a TINY fraction of surviving examples and are ridiculously undervalued and under appreciated at today's market levels. In January 2019 a graded 9.8 example reached a high water mark of $1200 in our auction. This popular Big Brother title will simply continue to rise in value as mint copies begin to disappear. Now is the time to take advantage of these opportunities!
