The Bill Graham series of concert posters is easily the most famous, most popular, and most collected series of concert posters ever created.
No other 1960’s concert promoter other than Graham has enjoyed a major museum tour that has cross crossed the U.S.A. with long lines and record attendance wherever it was displayed. Of particular interest to collectors, are the Fillmore posters from the very FIRST year, 1966, which represented the embryonic stages of the San Francisco Counter Culture Scene.
This lot is just the 11th poster in the series, created for 2 nights of concerts by The Wailers and Quicksilver Messenger Service , held just a couple months after the opening of The Fillmore.
What further makes this poster stand out is that it is tied for the finest quality EVER offered at public auction. Simply unimprovable in every way!
None have been graded finer.
About a year ago we auctioned another 9.8 specimen that realized $4,200, a bargain considring that CGC has graded a grnd total of just SIX 9.8 spwcimens and there are literally hundreds of advanced collectors asssembling Fillmore sets.
Estimate $2,000 - $4,000
