Important Added Info: Note that this poster does not have a union logo in the center of the bottom border. Recently, it was discovered that there are Mad Max one-sheets with a "GCIU" logo in place of the "GAU" logo in the center of the bottom border. Since GCIU didn't begin until late 1982, we know the posters with that logo are from the 1983 re-release which makes further sense because there was a major 1983 re-release (after the huge success of the sequel, "The Road Warrior"). However, THIS poster does not have either logo, so we don't know for certain whether it is from 1980 or 1983 (but we believe it is more likely it is from 1980, so we are identifying it in that way, and we know that several other major dealers agree with us). But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to when it is from. If anyone knows more about this subject, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Condition: good. The poster has darkened somewhat and there are pinholes around the edges. It has tiny brown dot stains in the areas in between the upper and center horizontal folds (see our image). There is some discoloration at bottom. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
