The Acid Test Chronicles - Page 30 - Poster and Handbill Population Report
Breakdown of what exists and what does not (to the best of my knowledge) - Note: There are collections out there which I am completely unaware of and collectors who I do not know, so this is only a rough estimate. There are also collections that have yet to turn up, i'm sure.
