“Hell with the stock market. Whenever I had any extra money I bought posters from my friends. Artists defined the counter culture era but the artists never had money. So I bought what I  loved.” - JEFF

 

Friends,

After collecting posters for 50 years I decided I needed money and am putting a bunch up for auction with a reputable outfit that recently did the Armadillo World Headquarters extravaganza.  If you would, please forward this to any friends that might be interested.
