--------------------------
This is an
original printing
of the iconic "Zebraman" poster from 1966 featuring the
13th Floor Elevators
and
Quicksilver Messenger Service
, at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, California.
This is one of the most in-demand posters from the early Family Dog series.  The 13th Floor Elevators were a early influential psych-rock band, originally from Texas (check them out on YouTube!).  Quicksilver was a mainstay band in San Francisco.  Art on this poster is by genre greats
Stanley Mouse
and
Alton Kelley,
and is generally regarded as one of the most visually stunning of the early psychedelic rock poster scene.
The print run for this original, pre-concert printing, is estimated at 2,000 posters.  Today, 55 years later, few have survived and even fewer in decent condition.
Condition of this piece is
Very Fine to Near Mint
with superb colors, no tears and no pinholes.  There is some handling along the bottom border and a light crease in the bottom left hand corner.  There are some very light wrinkles in the bottom right portion of the poster that are difficult to see from the front.  I've included photos that highlight these.  These flaws are minor, and overall this poster is in great shape.  A highly sought after original this is perfect for framing and displaying!
Higher grade versions now fetch in the neighborhood of ,000 or more at auction.  I'm confident this would grade 9.0 (or better) if sent to CGC for professional grading.
The market for these original, mid-to-late 60's rock posters is very healthy at the moment with record prices being realized regularly.
This poster is 100% guaranteed authentic
.  All of my posters have been acquired from only the most trusted and reputable sources.
