This poster for a February 1970 Grateful Dead show at the Fillmore is one of the most requested Grateful Dead posters from the series. Demand for Original First Print Grateful Dead posters is growing rapidly as discussed in our recent blogs! In April a lower 9.4 graded example reached $1080 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this 9.6 poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior example now! 

 

In addition this poster has also been authenticated by noted concert poster expert and historian Eric King!
