Only the second CGC graded example of this issue to appear in our auction! This annual San Francisco event was previously called the Hooker’s Ball through 1978. It morphed into the Masquerade Ball the following year and traveled to Hollywood and New York. The events were promoted by self-described prostitute and sex-positive feminist Margo St. James. This poster for 1979 was beautifully designed by noted artist Randy Tuten. Many collectors believe that posters graded 8.5 by CGC represent the best value in the marketplace today. See our blog dated 1/31/18 to learn why demand is currently skyrocketing.
