IMPORTANT! This is one of 293 "Second Chance Auctions"! What does that mean? Tim League, the consignor of all the prints in the 2,346 auctions (see below), knows that there will be a LOT of competition for some of the prints, and he wanted to give bidders a second chance to get some of the more desirable ones! So, on the 293 auctions that have this paragraph on them, it means that they are prints where there is an earlier auction for a different example of this print (and that earlier auction will have almost surely already ended BEFORE this auction), and this way, those bidders who "missed out" on the earlier example have this second chance to get this different example (but of course, they are not exactly the same, and the earlier example has a lower number)! Please know that 100% of the proceeds from the sale will go towards paying staff of the Alamo Drafthouse and paying debt and expenses accrued during the COVID closures. And eMoviePoster.com has slashed its commission rates, so that we too can do all we can to support this most worthwhile cause. Whether you are a prior collector of Mondo prints or if you have never purchased one of them before, you surely have a movie fan in your life who would like something unique under their Christmas tree this year (or maybe you want to give it to yourself!). Our deepest thanks to everyone who participates in this very special set of 2,346 auctions! Condition: fine. The limited edition art print is in very nice condition and it displays quite well! An important note about the condition of the print in this auction (or, in the case of 25 of the auctions, prints). It comes from the personal collection of Tim League, and it has been carefully stored since it was first printed. In the case of all but 46 of the 2,344 of the prints, it is in wonderful condition, and likely looks exactly as it did when it was printed, and we give all those our "fine" grade, which is the highest grade we give (and which equates to most dealers' "mint" grade). In the case of a very small number of the prints (46 in all!), it acquired one or more defects, and in those cases we give it a lower grade, and explain in words what those defects are. If you like purchasing limited edition prints in wonderful condition, THIS is the auction for you! Learn More about condition grades
