There were only 5 altogether. All of them were used for scrap stationary a long time ago, then stuffed away in the barn for many years. They all have writing on the backs. A known one has the writing of Mountain Girl on the back. Another has a short letter to Grim Babbs. (I used to own that one as well, but sold it about a year ago.) The one I am selling, which is the only other one I have, my Last One, has the writing of Ken Kesey on the back. Some ramblings about spaceships and LSD, but it's not consistently readable. Very interesting though. -- This is one of the rarest Acid Test items in existence, if you are a serious collector and want to own a solid investment, this is the real deal. -(PLEASE TAKE NOTICE : In Most photos taken, the Print is backed on an acid free board and mounted using mylar strips. For those that don't know, this is completely temporary and causes no damage. It is done to protect the art. It can be safetly and easily removed from behind the hinges. Posters can be shipped with backing board and hinges or without, but either way, it will be shipped protected well.) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Paypal Or Postal Money Order Only.
