Wanted to add information on here about Aspen Wall Poster #5,this is from tomwbenton.com email contact: The Poster features silkscreen art by Thomas W. Benton on the front, and text by Hunter S. Thompson on the reverse. The Wall Posters are Hunter's rarest publications, as only 300-400 were printed and distributed in Aspen in 1970.
I'd love to have one of these but it is out of my price range at the moment

Hi - I have one of the few remaining original first printings. this is it All others are reprints. Benton changed the print each time he printed it apparently. My Father got this in Aspen in '70 and was kind enough to give it to me. I cherish it and it hangs above my fireplace. Tells you how I feel about it considering I have 80 rare Grateful Dead posters framed and hanging. Piece is stunning and in mint condition. I did reframe it and take it out of its old frame and put it in museum grade glass and on acid free paper. Chances are as I am told you might never see another picture of one as only 500 were printed and this original first printing is super rare.

between the versions here, and over at tom bentons site, there sure are a lot of them. That's a good thing though, 'cause I'd love to have one.
I just might have to pick up the framed giclee on his site one day....seems to be the cheapest.
Saw gonzo303s poster last night, and it's drymounting awesome. What a gem.
