More About This Item Featuring Fred Otnes Artwork This poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical foldline) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube.
Overall Condition: very good to fine Notable Defects: Other than some minor wear, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
Explanation Of What This Condition Grade Means: This item has only a few VERY minor imperfections. We may have written just a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as they are very minor. Note that we are very harsh condition graders, and that our "very good to fine" compares favorably to many dealers' "fine" condition! You should look at our "super-sized" image of the actual item, which will confirm just how nice this item is!
More About This Poster Type: One-Sheets are the standard movie poster size, what you see outside of any movie theater. From 1896 until roughly 1990, almost all actual theater-used one-sheets measured 27" x 41" (since then, most one-sheets measure 27" x 40"). Up until 1980 (or thereabouts) the vast majority of one-sheets were folded twice horizontally and once vertically (this is in no way considered a defect). Sometime during the late '70s, studios began printing one-sheets rolled. Most one-sheets after the mid-1980s are printed unfolded, though it is still possible to find some newer posters folded. Many newer one-sheets are printed double-sided (with a mirror image on the back) for use in a light box in front of the theaters. However, sometimes the studios also print some posters single-sided, so a recent poster can be single-sided and still be studio issued. All of the one-sheets (unless otherwise noted) being sold by eMoviePoster are original vintage theater-used one-sheets (or printed intended for theater-use, but they never made it to theaters)!
