Artist: S. Neil Fujita Important Added Info: Note that almost all examples of this poster were printed on glossy finish paper, but this poster, and perhaps one other that we sold several years ago, is printed on a "flat finish" paper. This same situation existed in 1964, when studios were switching from flat finish posters to glossy finish ones, and there are 1964 posters (like Goldfinger) where they exist in both versions. But we are not sure why this would have been done in 1972. The poster is surely first release, because it is exactly like any other 1972 folded one-sheet and it has the same regular NSS stamp n the back that the "glossy" one-sheets have. We don't know why this was done, but if anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. There is a extra vertical fold 1/2" The poster the left of the regular one, solely between the top and middle crossfolds (this occurred when the poster was machine-folded). Otherwise the poster has very minor fold wear and is in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
