1st Printing – The postcard was only printed once before the concert. It measures 5″ x 7″.
The photos are scans of the card for sale. The stain on lower right front looks like a tape residue but not sticky. Corners are sharp. Colors on the photos are about right – but the borders are the color of the card stock – creamy/white – this shows off the white inked highlights in the picture.
The rear is the same creamy/white background with green print. Tape residue on rear is visible on scans and is also not sticky.
Cardboard backed, bubble wrapped, packaged and shipped USPS.

Provenance:
While living in San Francisco from 1966-1968, I collected many Haight-Ashbury concert cards. Most of what I have, however, were sent by Bill Graham in 1968. I had asked him about selling concert posters in my soon-to-open Baltimore bookstore, The Aquarian Age Bookstore. They sent me a postcard from each concert as a poster sample. I decorated my walls and journals with some, while others were stored in a zippered leather binder. Despite my many travels, it’s astonishing that they’re still in such fine condition.
