The cheap, value-less posters we've been mentioning are "boxing style" posters. I should note that there is a rare and valuable boxing style poster for the Dead from 12/29/66. This poster is reprinted in the Art of Rock (sort of a definitive guide to rock concert posters). You can see it at http://gdposters1.tripod.com/1966/late1966/late66big/661229.html Although I've seen other fairly rare GD posters up for auction I've never seen this one.
There may have been other "real" boxing style posters for the Dead but I haven't seen any. -----Original Message----- From: K. M.

I have reviewed your site, and found it to be extremely helpful as I was searching for a particular year in which the Grateful Dead performed. The year is 12/31-78. This matches a poster (in mint condition) in which I have and would like to have appraised. The poster is on card board it reads: "NEWS YEARS EVE- GRATEFUL DEAD BLUES BROTHERS N.R.P.S. "BREAKFAST SERVED AT DAWN" WINTERLAND DEC. 31-1978 It would be most helpful if you could perhaps direct me to the correct person/source who has knowledge of The Grateful Dead's memorabilia, including appraisals.
