Important Added Info: This 24-sheet poster was folded in a way that makes it resemble a folded six-sheet (only much larger, of course, as there are more sections). But while the length and width of the folded 24-sheet is similar to that of a folded six-sheet or three-sheet, it is somewhat larger and also has greater depth. This means that this 24-sheet needs to be sent in an oversized flat package, which will measure roughly 15" x 20" x 4", and it will cost more to send than a regular sized package. Also note that this 24-sheet was printed in 12 sections. Condition: very good to fine. There is some darkening on the back of the part that was on the outside when the poster was fully folded and there is a tiny area of paper loss in that area (it falls in the gold background). Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition with only minor wear. Learn More about condition grades
