Our friends have a 20" x 26" "Summer of Love" poster from 1987.
It is professionally framed. Framed measurements are 27" x 34".
Been doing some research. It is quite rare....#128/250. The prices I have seen vary.
It is hand signed in pencil by Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, Wes Wilson and Victor Moscoso… a.k.a. “the Big 5” premier San Francisco psychedelic concert poster artists.
We have been sellers on ebay but haven't sold much art.
Questions are:
Is it Original? How can you tell?
Is ebay a good way to sell this type of art?
If selling on ebay and unsure of the price...should we do a reserve auction?
I saw only one of these listed on ebay (unframed)...a seller was selling 3 of these each one priced at $999. Two sold...one was still for sell. This is such a rare poster with only 250 made, it seems strange that one seller would have three of them.

Looks like an original silkscreen, "original" by the pencil signatures and edition. Art sells eventually on eBay, not near asking prices usually. I sell about $400k worth of artwork on eBay annually, is that good? Not sure. I'd say list it in a buy it now or best offer format at $999 and reject nominal offers.
Best of Luck,
