Artist: Tom Jung Important Added Info: Note that this is a VERY unusual poster! Why? Because it is printed on a "matte" paper (non-glossy), while almost all other one-sheets of this type (NSS style B) that we have previously seen have been printed on glossy paper! So how do we explain this poster? Perhaps it is from some sort of test run, and then it was decided to make the posters glossy. We contacted the leading Star Wars experts and asked them if they have ever seen this poster before, or know anything more about it, and they replied that they thought it might be an "after-hours" run or perhaps used to "clean the printing plates", but they had never seen or heard of it before either. We have only auctioned four examples of this poster and this one has been reconsigned to us for this auction so we have still only seen four examples (and this one is the ONLY unfolded example we have ever auctioned!). If anyone knows more about this matte poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster has a slight printing issue that only affects the last characters of the Title and NSS number in the bottom white border. All of the Empire style B posters that were produced by the National Screen Service are like this and it is not considered a defect. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded, but it has some light creases scattered throughout (likely acquired from when it was stored rolled). It also has very minor border defects. The coloring and printing is very slightly different from the "glossy" style of this poster, but that could be because of aging, or it could be that it was made differently to begin with in 1980! Please look closely at our super-sized image and read all we wrote about before bidding on this very rare poster. Learn More about condition grades
