Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that our consignor purchased this poster in 1995 at an auction. The consignor was a long time dealer who said he had bought it years ago. At that time it had the tear described below. Our consignor hung it in his son's room, and that caused some fading and border wear. But at least he never got tired of it and threw it out, because he and his son had no clue as to the value! Note also that, due to the immense popularity of this movie, there were FOUR different printings of this "style A" one-sheet poster! The first printing (the poster offered here) has the original NSS number of 77-21-0, while the next three printings have the 77-21 NSS number. The first three printings all have "Style A" printed in the bottom border, while the fourth printing does not. In addition, there is both a "domestic" version of the very first printing, and an "international" version of the very first printing (the domestic version has the PG rating and the international has no rating). The poster offered here is a guaranteed original first printing of the domestic version (with the PG ratings)! Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has an irregular "T" shaped tear in the credits to the left of the title (there is no paper loss). There is a line of vertical creases scattered down the right of the poster approximately 8" from the right (see our image). There is tiny paper loss in the bottom left corner and some creases around the edges with some minor creases scattered through the poster. As note d above, our consignor displayed this poster for many years and it has faded somewhat. Obviously, the poster could be restored but please bear all the above in mind and look closely at our image before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
