Rick Griffin’s “Motherload” is a must have from the FD series. The sepia toned photograph of Haight Ashbury’s blues queen Janis Joplin is the centerpiece of this timeless poster. The OP-1 of this issue very seldom surfaces at public auction and collectors have to wait years before they see a chance to acquire one in this TOP condition! An incredible find! Over a year ago we auctioned another 9.6 graded example for $863.
