Wow! Here’s a real opportunity. This is just the 4th CGC graded FD-11 Original First Printing to appear at public auction! This poster is the very first contribution to the Family Dog series by Victor Moscoso. The image features one of the famous Gargoyles that live atop Notre Dame De Paris. Early Family Dog posters are among the most sought after issues by collectors due to their ultra low issue numbers and minuscule survival rates. In June 2014 a non-CGC certified example in similar condition realized $1104 in our mega sale. This piece here is virtually identical in condition and it's 100% Original with no restoration!
