This is the other half of the 2 for $10 deal I got when buying this and Winterland poster from Craigslist ad in Philadelphia. I love the Grateful Dead music and their artistic posters, I bought them under the impression they were reprints, just to enjoy myself. This one is thin paper and marked "RP 006", 1977 Kelley/Mouse, the show was in '66, is this one legit?

thanks and good morning Bellin68, are you going hunting again today? if so, good luck!
LOVE this poster as well MattyG, looks like it has been printed over 7 times so there are many variations. (The original was small handbill printed on very thin paper) Too many differences to name here so take a look at the link below and you will be able to tell. Still a GREAT poster and certainly one of the most iconic images associated with The Grateful Dead, GREAT find!

Thanks again zguy2112, I did a little searching and found this online: "FD-26-RP-13 A Portal Publications reprint exists on thin stock. It bears the credit “RP 006 c 1977 Mouse/Kelley Portal Publications Ltd. Corte Madera. California 94925 Litho in U.S.A.” on the right side of the bottom margin. 20 3/64” x 27 63/64”" on Eric King's Poster Book corrections, but that's it, no other info on this print. I heading to eBay now to price frames.
Thanks for the love mustangtony and crabbykins.
