About this single owner collection
       This collection of 91 Star Wars items contains almost every style of U.S. one-sheet from the first three movies (episodes IV, V and VI), and not only does it include both the "NSS style" and the "studio style" from each (where both were made), but also, EVERY one of those one-sheets are UNFOLDED, and they are ALL in excellent condition! 
       Every long time collector of Star Wars material knows that it is next-to-impossible to find the NSS styles of the one-sheets from the first three Star Wars unfolded, so HOW does this collection contain almost all of them? The answer is that a single collector, Kevin Doyle, who saw Star Wars in 1977 and loved the movie then began a decades long quest to obtain all of the US one-sheets that had been produced. 
       He soon learned that both "NSS styles" and "studio styles" for almost every style of one-sheet had been produced. (if YOU don't know what this means, please be sure to go HERE: http://www.emovieposter.com/announcements.php?id=738, where you will find a complete detailed explanation). But he quickly discovered that while all of those one-sheets could be obtained, it was between extremely difficult and impossible to find the "NSS styles" unfolded.
      That started him on a quest to find all of the one-sheets in an unfolded state, and he WAS able to find them for a high percentage of the different posters. Many of these NSS style posters are so rare to find unfolded that they are only offered every few years, and there are some that are never offered! But on May 1st, every one of these posters will have a new owner, and in the case of several of them, they may not be offered again for a VERY long time, if ever (three of them are the ONLY examples that has ever been seen of the NSS style of that poster without folds, and one of those is the ONLY example of the poster that has ever been seen, folded or unfolded)!
      The collection also includes one-sheets from the "other" three movies (episodes I, II, and III), and also some unusual and rare posters that are not one-sheets. You will find many items that are also rarely offered for sale, so be sure to look over all of the 91 items very carefully. The phrase "once in a lifetime" is certainly drastically overused, but this really likely IS a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase many Star Wars one-sheets that are almost never offered unfolded, and they will all be sold at one time on one day!

Condition: very good. The outer case has many creases and scuffs around the edges, but the art prints within are in nice condition (see our images).
