Important Added Info: Note that this 17" x 26 1/4" local theater window card was created by a local printing company for a specific theater when this movie first came out. It is on similar paper stock to the regular jumbo window cards that were created at this time, but instead of measuring 22" x 28", it measures smaller, and of course, they were created for a specific theater. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Some of these items can ONLY be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. On some of them (for example f it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: good. There is water staining scattered in parts of the edges of the poster, more so in the bottom corners. There is a partial slightly diagonal crease down the center of the card. Otherwise, it is in pretty nice condition Learn More about condition grades
