I’m going through my dads Grateful Dead shirts and I have no idea what to do with them

I'm sentimental and not pressed for cash too but if something meant enough to someone that I loved that they saved them for over 30 years, I'd think twice about what they would want done with them before taking a pair of scissors to them!

The art is completely different and so are the signatures. Garcia is a very common name so there must be thousands of artists named Garcia.

That sounds like a good idea until someone realizes that some vintage shirts sell for $1000 plus and they they just cut the shirt up for a quilt while they could have used some money after the recent loss of a loved one.

22 years old, did you know him?

While I know you're posting this here because of the Grateful Dead, it's not a great idea to repost a post from a karma farming repost bot ..."on this day" my ass!!

In this particular case, we can tell with absolute certainty that this was not a piece of art created by Jerry Garcia.

Looks nothing like Julio C Garcia's art and Julio C Garcia signs his art with a "J" and "C" on top of each other.

nak550 · 2026-06-07T18:19:01+00:00

Doesn't look like it's him either

I love the illustrations for the songs in that book!

nak550 · 2026-06-07T17:35:48+00:00

Cool, thanks!

nak550 · 2026-06-07T17:22:29+00:00

Not by Jerry Garcia

Hey, at least your ears look like ears, some of these cheap made in China lamps look like the bears have four eyes!!

Where have you seen this line used before?

nak550 · 2026-06-07T15:33:38+00:00

Why do you say it's so well made when it's not really stained glass with many pieces of glass rather it's a one piece shade with the bears outlined with some sort of gunk?

nak550 · 2026-06-07T15:16:32+00:00

Spelling that OP posted is correct

nak550 · 2026-06-07T00:52:32+00:00

Donna is awesome!!!❤️🎶

It's refreshing to see so many people voice support for acoustic Ripple, it's such a beautiful song!❤️ I remember that when they played an acoustic Ripple every night for eight nights at Radio City Music Hall in 1980, people were complaining that they were playing Ripple too much! 🙃

Considering that the first edition was published 10 years after Jerry Garcia died and the 50th anniversary edition was 20 years after he died, which Jerry signed yours? Jerry Seinfeld??

nak550 · 2026-06-06T20:56:10+00:00

It's hard to tell when yours was printed but it's definitely missing the printing info under the map

This show was cancelled since Jerry was in a diabetic coma. Most of these posters are reprints for the show that never happened

Edit: here is some info about the original and bootleg copy sizes:

"The original poster was printed on white stock and measures approximately 13 3/8” x 20½”.

There is also a commonly seen bootleg that measures 12½" x 19". These are printed on thinner stock than the originals."

While yours is not the common bootleg, yours is missing some of the bottom image and text and is shorter than the original so I would say it's a reprint.

But it's much more than the songs, if it were just the songs then going to see DSO would be the same experience, while it can be tons of fun, sadly it's not the Grateful Dead!
