Yes, FD-26 is the exception. That poster is in a league of its own.

That would be nice, but I think there’s a big difference in value.

Yes it will. I could have bought a first print for $100 from Ben Friedman in 1978. Same with the BG-105. I bought second prints of both for $10 each.
The FD-26 Handbill is selling up to $5K these days in good shape and signed. I paid $100 each for the two I have.

A 9.8 BG-105-2 runs about $2K in a half decent auction. My other 2 would grade somewhere in the 9s. I have passed on paying for a first print. I prefer the glossier paper used for the second print over the matte color of the first. It just doesn't do the same justice to Rick Griffin's lettering and art.
