Do the RP-2 have the printer's bug at the lower right hand corner as the first printing ? And do they all have that green line going through the first " T " in the word tickets ? I believe they all have the printer’s bug. The original with the overlapping letters has the green line. I’m not sure if...

Berkeley Bonaparte produced reprints after the respective events with colors that differ from the originals. It seems odd that the only one that's an original is the Wilderness Conference poster?

The silver version appears in a 1967 Berkeley Bonaparte catalog along with reprints of AOR 2.215, 2.71 and 2.81. It also includes AOR 2.319, which I thought was only printed once, for the festival in June.

Hmmm...these were pretty rare for quite some time, while at the same time the Doors 4/20/67 Santa Barbara poster was fairly common and could be had for around $25 or so. I had thought that this poster was reprinted for the first time fairly recently. I believe that the 4/20/67 poster was reprinted f...

It appears to be an authentic 2nd printing.

I was told that copies of the second printing were cut to several different sizes. I've owned two copies of the poster, one of which I sold. I didn't measure them, but noticed that one had more space to the left of "Tea Lautrec Litho" than the other.

I believe that it's authentic. The seller probably rounded the dimensions to the nearest quarter inch. The peace sign was added afterwards, and wasn't part of the original printing.

Glad you like it!

Nice! It's the real deal.

If so, it should probably have its own category. However, I don't think they track the price history of overprints.

Here's one that sold for $299: 271015797885

Yes, that's an overprint of the 2nd printing.

It's back on eBay, and the price is now $315.

Not all RP-2s have that printing flaw.

It appears to me as though there are areas of the lettering that are still white, but maybe it's just the pic. I can't think of any other explanation for the tan color other than aging.

I don't think it's on vellum. It looks like an aged RP-2 to me.
