Description

THE GRATEFUL DEAD-"DARK STAR"/"BORN CROSSEYED"

SUPER COOL AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND ORIGINAL 1968 U.S. PICTURE SLEEVE IN STRONG VG++ CONDITION!

A fantastically rare and cool picture sleeve that is a must have for any Grateful Dead collection! This a guaranteed original US issue that was released in 1968. This auction is for the sleeve only! I believe this sleeve was released only with the white label promotional single and possibly in extremely limited quantities with stock copies to stores as well. It is rumoured that there were only a few hundred printed and they are very hard to find nowadays, especially in such great quality as this copy! I have placed a reserve price on this item due to its extreme rarity. This is a super scarce item and it would be a fantastic addition to any serious Grateful Dead or music memorabilia collection. Good luck!

Warner Bros. Records 7186  Original 1968 US picture sleeve

GRADING:

SLEEVE: Strong VG++ with very light storage and age wear, no bends and some extremely light and barely visible creases near the middle on one side that look like they were present when the sleeve was manufactured. I don't believe that a record has been inside the sleeve for 40 years! All corners are sharp with no bends. Tab cut side has a small name written in the tab in blue ink, but it is very light and hardly noticeable. There is also two small pen marks on the last "D" of "Dead" on this same side (please see photo #2). All seams are intact with no tears. No other writing, markings or stickers on either side. This is a beautiful sleeve with a very unique photo of the band with great graphics!

This is an investment quality copy of this very hard to find picture sleeve so don't miss your chance to own this Grateful Dead gem! Please check out my other Grateful Dead items currently being auctioned!

Please email me with any questions before you bid. If you have any concerns about this item, please DON'T bid unless you are absolutely sure!
