If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that these are a special group of posters printed in Italy for use in the U.S. (and likely other countries as well, because they have no writing on the front). Many special color posters were printed in Italy at this time for use in the U.S. and elsewhere, because Italy had the absolute best color printing. There is a stamp that reads "MADE IN ITALY" on the back of one of the borders on each poster. We have only auctioned a group of similar special Italian posters from this title once before, and they sold for $1,601! Those were a set of 11 as well, but while 10 of the cards are the same between the two sets, one is different, so the complete set may have been 12 or more. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note: We have 11 images of the Italian posters in this set, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 11 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 1. Note that these posters were folded at one time but have been laying flat for a long time and they will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The posters were once lightly folded across or down the middle, but they only have a "wave" in that area and not a crease. They have varying amounts of minor border wear, and there is a series of small holes that form numbers (typical of Italian posters of this period) at upper center. Some have tiny creases in just a few portions of the edges and the one with the explosion has a small tear at top. The rare posters are otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
