We have never auctioned a 30x40 from the post-Academy Awards release in all our years of auctioning (and it differs from the "pre-Academy Award" 3x40 in that those have some red text, while this has those same areas in a light gold text! Note also that it has been established that the leg in the iconic image on this item belongs to Linda Gray (who later went on to fame in TV's "Dallas"), and not Anne Bancroft. However, as it is clearly intended to be thought of as Bancroft's leg (Gray was an unbilled body double, or more accurately, "leg double"), we are referring to it as such. Condition: fair. The poster has water staining, tears and pairs of staple holes around the edges. It has many creases, smudges, scuffs and faint stains scattered throughout. Please do not bid unless you can accept the substantial defects and have looked at our super-sized image before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
