Starting bid: $1.00

This very rare handbill was produced for a benefit show for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee at the Fillmore. It’s highly sought after and very few of these exist today. Historians will also note that this show is listed on the beautiful Wes Wilson poster BG-38 along with the November 18 and 19 shows.

 

The design for this handbill was produced by Bob Collins who also used the marching drummer graphic on the "Alldance 1966" material he made several months earlier. Also on this Fillmore bill is Stokely Carmichael who would later join the Black Panther Party. The artwork historical significance and scarcity allow a piece like this be a world class collectible!
