A landmark is reached for us in this lot being only the second CGC Graded OP-3 Special Color Variant example of this Original Avalon Poster offered at public auction! The FD 33 is one of the most sought after Grateful Dead posters in the Avalon Series. This striking yet simple design by Mouse and Kelly utilize the Family Dog logo in striking Green and Red. A very tiny fraction of the original issuance have survived the past 53 years.
