Important Added Info: Note that this Benton window card is extremely rare, even more rare than the regular window card! We have only auctioned it once before and that example sold for $415! This card is made by the Benton Card Company, which is a different company than the one that printed most of the window cards at that time. The Benton Card Company made mostly two-color window cards that used blown up newspaper ads. They sold their window cards cheaper than the regular ones, so many theaters used them. In the 1970s, someone bought the company and made reprints of earlier titles, but those are clearly marked. The window card offered here is from the original release of this movie! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. The card has faint brown stains scattered around the edges and in the top blank area. There are two small water stains in the top center of the card. There are some faint creases in the right border and a faint mark in the yellow background to the right of Connery's head. None of this is very distracting at all, and the card will display great just as it is, or of course, restoration could be performed. Learn More about condition grades
