Artist: Drew Struzan Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most insert posters were folded twice horizontally right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most insert posters, especially from before 1970! Note that this insert is one of a special collection of 25 inserts we are auctioning separately in this set of auctions. They come to us from a collector who has been collecting inserts for the past 20 years. When the "minty white" repros first surfaced on the market around 10 years ago, he quickly learned how to tell the difference between them and proven originals (some of which he already had in his collection), and he spent the next 10 years finding known originals on many of the titles that had been counterfeited as "minty whites"! Now he has reached the point where he needs to sell his collection, and he wanted them all sold at once, so that collectors everywhere could clearly see what proven originals look like, and also so that collectors everywhere would have a chance to purchase any of these titles without ANY fear of purchasing a fake (and we have closely examined each of the posters to make 100% certain that they are in fact original, and they ARE)! We have placed his 25 inserts at the start of this set of auctions, and this paragraph is on all of those 25 inserts. Also, when you look at these 25 titles together, it becomes clear that this was an exceptional time for movie making, and you can see why the people who made the fakes chose these exact titles! Condition: very good to fine. There are a few very faint scuffs in the bottom black background area, but the poster is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
