Note that this is a special set of three Star Wars posters printed in 1978. They were distributed by Procter & Gamble, the makers of detergent and soap products. Each poster has a different artwork scene by Ken Goldammer, but has no title or writing other than the small line of type on the bottom of each one, which says "For the customers of Cascade, Cheer and Dawn. c1978 Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation. Star Wars is a trademark of Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation. The Procter & Gamble Company." We don't know how these posters were distributed, but it would seem likely that they were some sort of premium given to those who sent in proof of purchases, or something similar. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. IMPORTANT! The lot contains 99 posters (33 identical examples of 3 different posters), so we have only pictured one of each style, but the winner of this auction receives all 99 posters, in the original box! Measurements: 18 1/2" x 22 3/4"Condition: good. We have only pictured one of each style of the posters, but all 99 are in similar condition. The posters had some exposure to moisture, and they are now lightly rippled in various places. They are not stuck together, and the rippling is not terribly distracting, but it definitely is a real defect, so do not bid on this unless you can accept the rippling that is scattered throughout the posters. The posters are inside their original shipping carton from Procter & Gamble (see our image). Also, it must ship in a large oversized carton that measures approximately 20" x 25", and it is heavy, so bear that expense in mind as well. See the ones that we pictured to get a sense of the condition of all 99 posters (although only three examples are pictured). Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
