Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this "blue style" half-sheet, and that sold for $1,500! Condition: poor to fair. The poster has two major defects, one commonly seen with this poster, and the other very unusual. The first defect is that it was used at a showing of Son of Frankenstein, and someone glued a snipe over the part that said "The Bride of" at center, so that that title would not show (that snipe was later mostly removed, but parts of it remain). They also cut an X with a razor in several places in the poster, likely because they were demented, and not because of only showing one movie. But the second defect is rarely seen. The border of the poster were trimmed off, and the person chose to staple it to the front of a 1952 Columbia half-sheet for My Six Loves! Fortunately this was solely done with staples, and they would be easy to remove. It would be harder to restore the many razor cuts, and the other defects, so bear all the above in mind before bidding on this cool poster. Learn More about condition grades
