This is an original Rock N' Roll Postcard featuring THE GRATEFUL DEAD.    It was issued in 1968/1969 (a tad before the New Year of Jan 1, 1969) by Bill Graham  to promote upcoming performances of THE GRATEFUL DEAD, RICHIE HAVENS, VANILLA FUDGE and More Acts  at The Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco .    This postcard is not a reprint nor a reproduction. 

The Artwork is by Lee Conklin   as best as I can tell, but if you know better please let me know.  .

This unrestored original Postcard measures 7" x 9.5" and is Flat and will be mailed Flat. 

This original movie poster is graded C8, Very Fine.    We grade original Rock N' Roll Postcards just like original movie posters, from the top down, as:  C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine or Excellent), C7 (Fine to Very Fine), C6 (Fine or Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), etc.  It is difficult to find any original Rock N Roll Postcards or original movie posters pre 1985 in C10 (Mint) condition.  The very minor flaws described above are unobtrusive to the overall excellent appearance of the Postcard.  

We believe that the original Rock N Roll Postcard of THE GRATEFUL DEAD at The Winterland Ballroom   for the 1968/1969 New Year's Eve celebration has good investment value.  We believe that almost any memorabilia involving THE GRATEFUL DEAD will always maintain its value and have some or increased investment value created by demand from fans (of all and future generations) of THE GRATEFUL DEAD and collectors.   

I certainly am a fan of THE GRATEFUL DEAD and have a number of DEAD   memorabilia, including originals posters, cigarette lighters, etc.  Just play Friend of The Devil and I am on board.  I saw them only once many moons ago in Portland, Maine and they played for about 4 and a half fabulous hours.

If you have any questions, please let me know.  I have been collecting original movie posters for over 40 years, and thus recognize and practice accurate descriptions of the item for sale and as much disclosure of any flaws as possible.  The photos are of the actual item you will be purchasing.   We do not use "stock" photos.  And our item is guaranteed to your full 100% satisfaction.  If you have issues or concerns with the poster that cannot be resolved upon receipt of the poster, the poster may be returned for a full refund.   No problem.

Thanks for taking a look.  I have a number of original movie posters listed on eBay and am continuing to add new originals every week.  

  • Condition: This original GRATEFUL DEAD and Other Artists at "The Winterland Ballroom for 1968/1969 New Years'" Postcard displays solid colors with excellent detail of the images on a very clean background. There is minor wear on the left in the green background section with very minor loss of color - the side with The Grateful Dead is better. There is wear at the corners with some "rounding". Throughout the Postcard there is wear if you look at the photos carefully but the colors have survived quite nicely. Possibly this is toning, the loss of brilliance of color but not the loss of color. There are no pin holes, no tears, and no tape or tape residue. There is no soiling or smudging. There is only very minor loss of paper (at the corner tips) and only very minor loss of color (in that green background section as described above). The Postcard has a medium to high gloss. Please review the photos carefully.
