Important Added Info: Note that the vast majority of commercial posters from the 1960s were sold in very large numbers, and while they can be difficult to find decades later, they can almost never be described as rare. But this particular commercial poster actually is "rare" because it was recalled due to legal/licensing issues at that time. We have seen dealers asking thousands of dollars for this commercial poster! Also note that there were two versions of this poster. This one has normal size borders, but the other one measures 10" taller, and yet only blank area was added to the top and bottom of the poster. That poster has different printer information than this one, so this poster was obviously originally created in two different versions, but we don't know why! Finally, note that this poster was produced by Personality Posters, a company from the 1960s to the 1970s who created commercial posters for sale to the public. The posters featured popular celebrities, cultural icons, movie stars, artwork, political statements, and more. As the posters were mainly used for decoration (often by high school or college students), it is rare to find them in good condition in modern times. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has a tiny tear in the lower right border but is otherwise in really nice condition! This is unusual, because most of the past examples of this poster we have sold were either in lesser condition (because they had been attached to a wall) or had been linenbacked, to repair the defects acquired when the poster was displayed. It seems extremely likely this poster was never displayed, which explains how it survived in such nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
