For the&nbsp;aficionado who wants his Jerry life-sized and his&nbsp;music even larger.Very good condition. Slight creases from rolling; small tear on the bottom (see images).

"The Days Between," the Hunter/Garcia song that most poignantly evokes the promise the pair felt when they began to imagine the future in the early 1960s together, now means the nine-day stretch from August 1, Garcia's birthday, to August 9, the anniversary of his passing. It's become the Dead Head's high holy days, the community's quiet, sacred time in the Grateful Dead calendar year.Relix presents a curated sale honoring Jerry Garcia, not only as a musician, but as an icon whose image became folk art for a generation. These lots trace Garcia's cultural afterlife through the objects fans made, mailed, wore, and kept, the tributes that commemorate the guitarist who became a legend and trace that remarkable path.Leading the sale is a rare color lithograph of Garcia by noted 1960s photographer Gene Anthony, depicting Garcia in 1967 at the peak of his "Captain Trips" Haight-Ashbury guise. Signed by the artist and mounted on archival board, it is unbelievably rare, a genuine standout for any serious collection. Even more rare is a Lithuanian Olympic basketball jersey bearing "Garcia" on the back. Other standouts include a life-size poster of Garcia's signature axe Rosebud, Robert Hunter's haunting poetic broadside "An Elegy for Jerry," one of the official copies mailed to Dead Heads after Garcia's passing, along with volunteer laminates from the 8/13/95 Golden Gate Park memorial, the Montserrat "Dancing Bear" Memorial Stamp Project sets, and the rare Bill Graham Presents "Jerry Garcia on Broadway" marquee mugs.Nine days. A lifetime of tributes. Bid accordingly.-- as always.

In 1992, a newly independent Lithuania sent its basketball team to the Barcelona Olympics with almost no money to get there — and the Grateful Dead quietly stepped in, footing the bill to outfit the players in legendary tie-dye uniforms that were the talk of the games. When the team took bronze and climbed the podium in those wildly psychedelic jerseys, it became one of the most joyful collisions of counterculture and world sport ever broadcast. This one-of-a-kind jersey bears the name “Garcia” across the reverse, a one-off sample that honors this evocative&nbsp;moment of the&nbsp;Dead championing an underdog who prevailed, providing a direct thread back to the moment the Dead's generosity was transformed into an international symbol of freedom and fun. No distinguishing label present or evidence of removalMint, and one of the most story-rich pieces in the entire collectionSize: Oversized/tall-cut XLLength = 34"Seam to seam = 24"

Hand-numbered 873 of 5,000, this print represents the pinnacle of Garcia's image-turned-icon, the fine art culmination of the vast folk-art economy that grew up around Jerry Garcia. Created by the countless artists who translated his instantly recognizable visage into the face fans could bring into their homes and make a part of their lives, this brooding portrayal captures how a musician becomes an&nbsp;inspiration: reproduced, circulated, and loved a thousand times over until the image is as familiar as the music. A clean, collectible entry into that tradition, and an affordable way to own an image that belongs to history in a numbered piece of the Garcia canon.Mint Condition25" x 34"

In Garcia's final years his two most-played guitars, “Lightning Bolt” and “Top Hat,” came from an unlikely source: Stephen Cripe, a self-taught Florida woodworker who had never built an electric guitar and reportedly worked from photographs — even repurposing a slab of 19th-century rosewood for one body. That improbable partnership is one of the great deep-cut stories in Dead lore, and this limited edition of just 24 (unnumbered) celebrates it. A true rarity for the collector who already knows the hits and wants the hidden chapters. Mint 24" x 37"

Photographer Gene Anthony was there for the birth of all of it — the 1967 Human Be-In, the Summer of Love, the Haight-Ashbury streets where the Grateful Dead were still the neighborhood band before they were a national phenomenon. This 1967 color lithograph captures Garcia at that exact hinge in history, when the whole culture was crystallizing around a few blocks of San Francisco. Signed by the artist and mounted on archival board, it is the undisputed centerpiece of this sale: a photograph turned artwork from the instant a movement found its face. Very rare. Mint.

When Garcia died on August 9, 1995, grief moved through the Deadhead world like something physical, and fans reached for any way to keep him close. This memorial necklace does exactly that — a metal pendant etched with his face on the front and “Jerry Garcia 1942–1995” on the reverse, strung on a braided cord meant to be worn, not shelved. It's mourning you can carry, devotion made wearable. A quietly powerful piece for anyone who felt that loss. Mint.
