Grateful Dead, 2/14/68, Carousel Ballroom, "Be Mine" press sheet overprint; basically this is the silver/blue color of the "Be Mine" poster overprinted over a press sheet of the BG107-108 posters (which were held within a couple of days of the "Be Mine" show and presumably were printed at the same time). It is SIGNED by KELLEY and MOUSE in large thick gold sharpie too! Click here for illustration. These overprint press sheets, used when the press was starting upto avoid wasting clean paper, are not uncommon, and their value depends on the images used and the overall eye appeal of the item. There really is no set value for them. So pricing this one is a challenge. With the signatures, and theCarsousel Ballroom image, I'm going to put this one out at $300.
