NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Bob McCall Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was first release in 1968, it was in a very limited release in theaters that showed it in Cinerama. MGM made three different one-sheets for this Cinerama release. The style A Cinerama poster had the classic "space wheel" art. The style C Cinerama poster had the "centrifuge" art. The style B Cinerama poster had the art of men walking on the moon, and those posters were stamped "1SH DES B MOON MEN" on the back, but they don't say style B on the front. When we auction these posters (which are many times more rare than the "non-Cinerama" one-sheets, which were used when the movie went into general release to theaters that did not have Cinerama equipment), we identify them as style A, style B, or style C. This Cinerama style B "moon men" style we are auctioning in this auction is far more rare than the other two Cinerama styles (we have previously auctioned 9 of the Cinerama style A posters, 4 of the Cinerama style C posters, and we have only auctioned three examples of this Cinerama style B "moon men" style, and the last one sold for $2,310, and it was not backed. The person who bought that last example had it linenbacked and has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of three examples we have ever auctioned! We are also currently auctioning the 70mm style B one-sheet in a separate auction. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had separation and tiny paper loss at the top crossfold, with some creases to the left and right of the vertical fold in the 3" below the top crossfold. It had tiny pinholes around the edges and faint diagonal creases in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
