BG-105 Jimi Hendrix Experience 1968 "Flying Eyeball" Concert Poster Graded 9.2. An original first-printing concert poster for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and Albert King performing at San Francisco's famed Fillmore Auditorium and Winterland ballroom on the first four days of February 1968. Known as BG-105 in the Bill Graham numbered series and nicknamed 'flying eyeball,' this specimen has been graded to an eye-catching 9.2 Near Mint Minus by the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC). Two years ago, Heritage set the hobby on its ear by auctioning off this poster in 9.8 grade (signed by Griffin) for a breathtaking $175,000.

This is one of the few posters in the hobby that seemingly everyone wants. It's one of the true masterpieces of S.F. psychedelic rock art, designed by Griffin in the winter of 1967-68. This was very much printed before the shows to sell tickets, unlike the second printing which displays the number "10" before the word "Tickets" down in the lower left corner. It's the telltale sign that everyone in the hobby knows, and which of course CGC confirms with their grading and authenticating. Measures 14 x 21 1/2". From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.
