Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare Japanese "B1" poster that measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]! "B1" posters are FAR more rare than "B2" posters (which measure approximately 20" x 28 1/2"), and because they are larger (similar in size to a U.S. one-sheet), they are more impressive when displayed on a wall! Also note that this poster was folded across the middle at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Note that this special "all Star Wars" auction began with a phone call from a VERY long time collector of Star Wars posters! He told us that he had reached a point in his life where he was wanting to sell his collection, and he asked if we could do it all at one time. Because he had 174 posters (including many of the most rare and desirable ones), we were happy to comply, but we told him that we would like to also add additional rare Star Wars posters from other collectors, and he agreed, and after we were consigned an additional 117 posters and related items, we have our auction!

We asked the person who assembled the amazing collection of 174 posters in this auction to share with us a written history of how he came to assemble this amazing collection, and if you CLICK HERE, you will be taken to a separate page that shows you what he wrote for us!

Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded once horizontally at center and it has some wear along that fold. It has some creases scattered in various areas and a few light scuff marks and there is small separation in the right edge of the horizontal fold. There are a few tears in the left edge. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and could certainly be displayed as is, but of course after a simple linenbacking the poster will look great!
