This poster was signed by esteemed Motor City graphic artist Gary Grimshaw in handsome silver pen, and graded to 9.2 Near Mint Minus by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company).

This is the first time in six years Heritage has been able to offer this elusive poster, popular due to its haunting Jim Morrison imagery, unusual blue & black coloring and overall scarcity. And it's the first graded example we've ever had. Measures 13" x 22". From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.
