We have never auctioned this style B version in all our years of auctioning (and the only style A version we auctioned was sold in 2006)! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has creases and some tears along portions of the blank borders and some light fold and border wear. There are some scuffs in the inset image at lower right (see our image). There is a small tape repair at lower left. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after paperbacking with some proper restoration the rare poster will look great!
