These Grateful Dead stickers/decals are old tour merchandise. I found them wrapped in plastic in boxes in master cases. They came from a distributor who sold them to tour vendors. The condition is pristine and they still will work as a car decal or window/mirror sticker. We found them packed away in storage boxes dated 1992 (many are older than that) and 1995 (year Jerry Garcia died). They are high quality artist renderings of Grateful Dead themes. Back in the day, the Dead did not monitor copyrights and that sort of thing, and in fact, at one point encouraged artists to do designs. The LA times explained it well “The Grateful Dead was famously lax in enforcing it’s intellectual property rights and trademarks, allowing fans to create their own designs using the band’s expansive iconography”. Since there was no serious monitoring or much concern back then, a lot of up and coming artists got involved in designing them. This is how some of them got their starts. Some of the sticker artists who designed these stickers went on to produce official licensed works for the Grateful Dead and other famous groups. These stickers include some by now famous designers including David Opie, and others. These older stickers are very hard to find anymore.

This was one of my personal favorites in my very early youth. Who can forget "Bye Bye Love" or "Wake up Little Susie". They had many many top hits and number ones on the charts. These passes were in use during Don and Phil Every's time. Don passed in 2021 (1937-2021), and Phil passed in 2014 (1939-2014). They are in excellent unused condition and came from the collection of Steve Rosen.

Here's the incredible story. In 1898, the Societa Veneziana Conterie Consortium was formed. It was a group of 16 bead makers who put their beads in one place so they could be sold by one sales force. The stock was old when it came there in 1898 (these are those)! When the consortium was dissolved, a large lot of the beads were sold to an American Indian Trading post, where they were used to make Indian goods. These are from that lot at the trading post, and are an incredible bargain.
