More About This Item Note that this poster is stamped "EUROPEAN VERSION" on the back. We do not know why this is! Normally, U.S. posters are stamped "FOREIGN" or "DOMESTIC" indicating whether they are printed for theaters within the U.S. or outside the U.S. We don't know why it is stamped "EUROPEAN VERSION", when this terminology was not used on any other poster, and if anyone can explain that to us, we will appreciate it!
Overall Condition: good to very good Notable Defects: There is a foreign distributor stamp in the top right. There is an extra vertical foldline 1" to the right of the regular foldline, with many creases and scuffs in that area. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty good condition!
Explanation Of What This Condition Grade Means: This item has some clear imperfections. If they are within the image, they are likely noticeable, but not very distracting, or they may be in the blank borders, where they will not show when the item is displayed. We may have written a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as you can likely see them by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual item (if they are the type that CAN'T be seen in our super-sized image, like faint water staining or tape on the back, we ALWAYS describe that in words). Note that we grade FAR more harshly than any other movie paper seller we know of, and many sellers would grade many of our "good to very good" items as "very good"!
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. Most 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 print some posters single-sided. All of the one-sheets (unless otherwise noted) being sold by eMoviePoster are original vintage theater-used one-sheets!
