FOR THIS POSTER WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT CASH, CHECKS, CASHIER'S CHECKS, OR MONEY ORDERS. Full return privileges apply. jkn

The rarest of the rare!! The regular Style C without the PG RATING is extremely rare itself and had a print run of around 500. It was issued for international use only so it did not need the U.S. PG Rating. There are zillions of bootlegs/restrikes of that version. This version with the PG rating is incredibly rare! It has been said that well under 100 are in existence. After Star Wars became a phenomenon, this PG rated version was issued for a few Special U.S. theater engagements only. THIS IS A PRINTERS PROOF!! In virtually flawless shape too! Printer's proofs normally are handled by many people and are often thrown away. Those that survive are usually pretty beat up.  Close up picture of PG RATINGS BOX.

About Printer's Proofs: Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of test posters. Commonly, they would leave the color chart on the left edge of the poster, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28" x 41"). These would then be shown to people in a position to "OK" them. Once they were approved, the final posters would be printed and the proofs normally were destroyed. A printer's proof is far more rare than a regular one sheet poster, and there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction.

About Printer's Proofs (from Bruce H.): Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Commonly, they would leave the color chart on the left edge of the poster, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28" x 41"). These printer's proofs would then be shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, and once they were completely approved, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's proof far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine, there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction!

FOR THIS POSTER WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT CASH, CHECKS, CASHIER'S CHECKS, OR MONEY ORDERS. Full return privileges apply.

For the ultimate STAR WARS fan, this is the holy grail. This is the FIRST poster ever issued for STAR WARS. It is NOT a poster that was issued to theatres. Designed by Howard Chaykin, this poster was issued in 1976 well before the movie was released in May 1977. It is said that only 1000 were made (some say more) and it was sold/given away at the San Diego Comic Con and in comic book stores to promote the Marvel comic book. Extremely rare and highly sought after, these very rarely are offered for sale. Most probably did not survive because at the time no one knew what a phenomenon Star Wars would become. THERE ARE BOOTLEGS/REPRODUCTIONS OF THIS POSTER!!!

The rarest of the rare!! Photo shown is of the actual poster for sale. There are less than a handful of these in existence (no one really knows for sure exactly how many, but all experts agree there are most likely less than 10). This is certainly the only one currently for sale anywhere in our galaxy! A huge poster!! Rescued out of a dumpster on the back lot at 20th Century Fox Studios back in 1977. Originally printed on four separate pieces. Featured on the cover of the 11/15/98 Butterfield's Auction catalog. A perfect candidate for Linen Backing. Click here to see what a linen backed one looks like. Some tiny holes in the top left section, see photo here.

The following text was taken from the Star Wars Poster Book 2005: "The large seven-sheet Advance is formally called an "out-of-home" poster, since most were printed for small billboards and transit stations. These were probably distributed to just Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, which had the only theaters to open Star Wars in 70mm, a fact called out on the poster. The poster is unique because it is the only one that has the May 25 release date, a date immortalized by Star Wars fans."

Rescued out of a dumpster on the back lot at 20th Century Fox Studios back in 1977. Originally printed on four separate pieces. Before backing it was in AMAZING condition with only one small area (approximately 8 to 10 square inches) on one of the four sections that was torn/wrinkled. Featured on the cover of the 11/15/98 Butterfield's Auction catalog. Here is a picture of the 4 sections prior to linen backing.

There are estimated to be less than 100 surviving six sheets from Star Wars, and who knows how many surviving in NM condition. A HUGE poster that dominates a room. Almost impossible to find. For the ultimate Star Wars fan.

Unused!! Well preserved. Very little general storage wear. Small 1/2" tear near word "ago" at top edge.

This is missing the final "last fold" that 6 sheets normally have, making this quite desirable!!

US One Sheet Movie Poster 1sh MYLAR Advance 27x41 ROLLED UNUSED EX-NM C8-C9  $3295.00  

To collectors, some of the most desired posters are the Advances for Star Wars. Very hard to come by in any condition. Extremely rare. Originally issued flat, many mylars were subsequently folded after their initial use by theater managers for storage. This is what they did when they were done with them. Difficult to photograph because it has a shiny mirror like finish. The Mylar Advance was the FIRST theater issued poster for Star Wars. The "W' in the STAR WARS logo is different and was later changed. This particular poster is UNUSED No pin holes, no tape, no tears. There are no known bootlegs or reprints of this poster. You will not find a nicer one anywhere.

Unused!! Well preserved. Very little general storage wear. Some very light ripples in the mylar (we have never seen a perfect mylar without ripples), most notably across the top through the word "TO" and across the bottom through "WARS". This was stored rolled but lying flat, so there are light "waves", but these won't be visible when framed. The picture shown was taken on a vacuum table where it is pulled flat. Click here to see what the waves look like when it is not pulled flat. If you look carefully you can see that it was very slightly miscut on the top right side. It has NOT been trimmed, it was originally cut that way when it was printed.

One of the RAREST original Star Wars movie posters. These hardly ever surface. The initial theatrical release of Star Wars was so popular that some theaters were still playing it a year after it first came out! This poster was issued to those few theaters. It is rumored that there were only 250 printed. Almost impossible to find. This one was never used! No tears, no pin holes, no tape.

This is considered by many collectors to be the ultimate STAR WARS poster! This is a beautiful example of an original 28"x41" U.S. one sheet movie poster from the 1977 classic "STAR WARS". These are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to find in any condition! Highly sought after. The rarity and desirability of this poster can not be emphasized enough! A long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale. Collectors AND non collectors love to display this poster.

The regular Happy Birthday one sheet is extremely rare. There are known reproductions of that version. This version with the color bars is ever rarer!!
 

UNUSED AND UNRESTORED!! ROLLED, never folded. Graded C9 Near Mint condition. Some very minor border wrinkles from storage on the bottom right side. You will not find a nicer one.

If a vintage poster is in terrific unrestored condition like this one, many experienced collectors will place a premium on it (when compared to a linen backed/restored one). Most experienced collectors prefer unrestored items to restored ones because they believe they will appreciate more in value.

When buying collectibles it is always wise to buy "the best of the best" as they stand a greater chance of appreciation. This poster is considered to be within that class and is definitely INVESTMENT QUALITY.

There are known reprints and/or reproductions of this poster. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!!

This is guaranteed to be a genuine ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTER PRINTER'S PROOF.

Straight from a former Gore Graphics employee. Gore Graphics was the company that printed these back in 1978. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
We are absolutely certain it is authentic.

All reputable dealers and advanced collectors believe that this poster WITHOUT the GAU logo is a bootleg/fake/restrike. Its origin is not known for sure, but it is believed that sometime during the early 1980's some unscrupulous printers got their hands on the original printing plates and ran off thousands of these (as well as the Star Wars Style A and C). It is a very convincing bootleg and is almost indistinguishable from the original. The easiest way to tell is by the absence of the GAU logo. The paper is also thicker and overall the graphics are a little blurrier. They usually appear rolled, but some people have folded them to make them appear more authentic. Criminals on ebay are now describing them as "lightly folded".......this means they have a ton of rolled ones they can't sell so now they are folding them themselves!! We offer it for collectors so they can compare it to known originals.  Picture. Picture.

STAR WARS STYLE A ONE SHEET INFORMATION

The Style A one sheet is the most well known, most collected, most reprinted, and most bootlegged movie poster in history. Just about everyone knows this image. Because there was an extremely high demand for the Style A one sheet back in 1977 when the film was released, there are 4 kinds of original versions. They all have slightly different markings on the very bottom:

Version 1. Has across the bottom border "one sheet - style A" and the NSS number as "77/21-0". Most experts believe that this is the first printing, and there is a lot of "circumstantial evidence" to support this, but, this can not be said with 100% certainty. Because of this belief, this poster commands a premium over the other versions. There is a bootleg of this version! The infamous "Luke's Hairy Belt" bootleg.

Version 2. Has "one sheet - style 'A'" across the bottom border with the NSS number as "77/21" and "Star Wars" written under it in a funky looking typestyle. It is believed by some that this may be the first printing, although this can not be proven. This version has NO known bootlegs.

Version 3. Has "one sheet - style 'A'" across the bottom border with the NSS number as "77/21".

Version 4. Doesn’t have the tag but just the NSS number "77/21" and "Star Wars" written under it.

This one sheet was issued measuring 27x41 and was usually folded. Rolled ones do exist but they are quite rare. Always be very careful when purchasing a rolled Star Wars poster due to the many known reprints and bootlegs. There are a ton of rolled ones that are not original and are from the 1980's Fan Club. These are a full 27x41 and look almost identical to originals except they have a hair on Luke's belt area picture.  The most common one sheet reprints measure 27x40 instead of 27x41. Some criminals carefully lightly hand fold the bootlegs to make them appear more authentic...so beware!!

BEWARE of 27"x41" Card Stock Style A One Sheets

They are Video Release posters from the 1980's.

All original release 27x41 Style A one sheets from 1977 are on regular paper stock.

The only "original" one sheets from the 1977 theatrical release that are on CARD STOCK measure 30"x40".

The 27x41 VIDEO card stock posters appear VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL to the original release 1977 one sheet.

They were printed for VIDEO STORES when Star Wars was released on video in the 1980's.

They have all the correct NSS markings and a 77/21 NSS number. They are VERY misleading!!

The only real noticeable printing difference is that under the artwork on the left, the VIDEO poster says "© 1977 Lucasfilm LTD".

On the 1977 original release one sheet it says "© 1977 Twentieth Century Fox".

BEWARE of 24"x36" and 27"x40" Star Wars Posters

All original release theater issued Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back ONE SHEETS will measure 27x41, not 24"x36", not 27"x40".

ALL 24" x 36" AND ALL 27" x 40" POSTERS ARE REPRINTS AND WORTH VIRTUALLY NOTHING.

They were not issued to theaters, they were sold in stores.
