Original 1st printing 23 x 34&7/8" extra-large 1974 Round Records/United Artists untrimmed test proof sheet (front/rear covers + a pair of album labels), along with an 29&1/8 x 23&1/8" uncut sheet of (20) promo cards and a 17&1/2 x 23" "pad" (stapled at the top) of (8) individual color proofs for "Compliments of Garcia", the second solo album by the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia. Art by Victor Moscoso, medium-thin glossy stock proof sheet is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; just a few scattered tiny handling/pinch dings, an edge ding or two and a few minor surface scuffs, otherwise fine. The pad of proof sheets (on the same thin glossy stock as the large proof) has a little bit of moisture rippling and the full color sheet on the front has a horizontal bend near the bottom and a small smudge mark in the upper left corner, but is otherwise OK. The sheet of promo cards is printed on thick glossy coated index stock and has a few small scattered fingerprints and a couple of minor handling dings around the edges, but is otherwise fine. To top it off, the large double proof has been HAND-SIGNED by BOTH JERRY GARCIA AND MOSCOSO in black flair pen along the bottom of the sheet (see photos). The ULTIMATE "Compliments" set!
