If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that in 1977, George Lucas recognized the value of merchandising his new movie, and he approached many companies about doing special advertising tie-in posters. He made four deals for the exact same posters with Coca-Cola! There was a set of 4 posters and one of the four deals was distributed through Burger Kings, and at the bottom of each, it said "A poster series from The Coca-Cola Company and Burger King", and each had "Number One of Four", etc. The second deal was through another burger chain, now defunct, Burger Chef, and at the bottom of each, it said "A poster series from The Coca-Cola Company and Burger Chef Systems Inc." The third set was distributed in Japan only, and at the bottom of each of those, it said "A poster series from The Coca-Cola Company (Japan)". The fourth set was distributed in the U.S. by Coca-Cola, it said "An original poster series from The Coca-Cola Company". While we have auctioned many examples of the above posters, this poster (which we have only auctioned once before and it sold for $580!) advertises the 1977 promotion for the Burger Chef chain! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has several light and fine crease scattered throughout and there is some slight discoloration in the lower quarter of the poster (mostly only noticeable on back). Other than some minor edge wear it is otherwise generally in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
