Important Added Info: Note that this first release 1948 insert has a completely different image from the one-sheet, and many collectors feel it is clearly superior! Also note that we have only previously auctioned five examples of this 1948 first release insert, and the last one was 5 years ago! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but because it has been laying flat for a long time our intention is to send it rolled in a tube. However, because we are certain it would not harm it to re-fold it (because the folds are still there and have not diminished), we can also re-fold it if the buyer needs it to be shipped with folded items. Condition: good to very good. There is a yellow tape stain in the left and right, with the one at the left slightly extending into the image. There are some creases and very faint staining scattered in parts of the rest of the borders, with creases in the bottom 2" of the poster and just a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. The poster has never had any restoration. Learn More about condition grades
