Important Added Info: Note that the half-sheet features an image of Ed Sullivan with a quote that says "Ed Sullivan says: 'This is it! The Big Show is REALLY the Big Show!'" (a reference, of course, to Sullivan's classic description of his own TV show!). Also note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).
