From Jerry Garcia's antique carved lions foot chair and Grateful Dead patent and copyright documents to Owsley Stanley's brass belt buckle signed and numbered 6 and Jerry's black T-shirt worn at his last show at Chicago's Soldier Field, scrolling through the hundreds of items going up for auction is still a thrill, whether you're a buyer or not.
Hosted by Donley Auction Services in Union, Illinois, just outside of Chicago, The Grateful Dead Family Jubilee Auction will give Deadheads the chance to score some rare and personal artifacts—nearly 1,000 items total—on April 11 and April 12.
The auction celebrates the group's half-century run with "the most extraordinary private collection of Dead-related memorabilia ever at auction."
From $25 to $420,000 (Stanley Mouse’s original artwork for the 1966 Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion Grateful Dead Fan Club poster with photo by Herb Greene) the starting bid numbers are all over the place.
Don't let the items with $25 starting bids on them fool you. No one's walking away with any bargains.
