Auction History Result p297 ROCKETSHIP X-M half-sheet movie poster '50 Lloyd Bridges, sci-fi! Date Sold 3/21/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Rocketship X-M ("*Expedition Moon"), the 1950 Kurt Neumann science fiction (sci-fi) space thriller ("The screen's First story of man's conquest of space!"; "Expedition Moon"; "The Future is Here!"; "See Strange planets! Strange People! See Man's greatest dream come true! See a moon's-eye view of the Earth!") starring Lloyd Bridges, Osa Massen, John Emery, Noah Beery Jr., Hugh O'Brian, and Morris Ankrum. Note that, because of post-production issues (and the fact that this movie was rushed though production in 18 days) this film beat George Pal's Destination Moon to theaters by a few weeks, and became the "screen's first story of man's conquest of space".

Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. There is a 2" crease in the middle left of the image running through Bridges' nose. There was a 2" tear in the middle of the left border that was repaired with tape from the back. There were several tiny tears down the left and right borders. There were pinholes, staple holes, tape stains, smudges, and creases around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster displays pretty nicely as is, and I think most collectors would be happy to have it on their wall (since most of the defects are in the borders and would be matted out). Of course, a talented professional could paperback the poster and make it look "perfect"! Learn More about condition grades
