We have only auctioned it twice before, once in 2004, when it auctioned for $1,275, and once in 2016, when it auctioned for $1,375. Perhaps this poster is so rare because the movie was re-released quickly in 1948 and then at least two times in the 1950s, and those re-releases probably used up whatever first release paper still remained.
