Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare and desirable poster! We first auctioned it in 2005, and that example was linenbacked, and it sold for $2,950. We did not get it again until 2015, when we received an unfolded example, which came from the manager of the New York theater that showed it in Cinerama, and he had been sent it rolled, and this time it sold for $5,250. We were consigned a third example in 2016, and that one was folded and NOT backed, and that example auctioned for $6,916. Now we have been consigned a fourth example. This one is linenbacked and has had significant restoration, but it was expertly restored, and it may sell at a significant discount to the last two examples we auctioned, and we don't know how long it will be until we get another example! What makes this poster rare/ When this classic movie was first release in 1968, it was in a very limited release in theaters that showed it in Cinerama. MGM made three different one-sheets for this Cinerama release. The style A Cinerama poster had the classic "space wheel" art. The style C Cinerama poster had the "centrifuge" art. The style B Cinerama poster had the art of men walking on the moon, and those posters were stamped "MOON MEN" on the back, but they were not stamped "style B" (which makes it an unmarked style B). When we auctioned these posters (which are many times more rare than the "non-Cinerama" one-sheets, which were used when the movie went into general release to theaters that did not have Cinerama equipment), we identify them as style A, style B, or style C.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It had pinholes around the edges and some paper loss in the blank borders where pins were roughly removed. The poster was displayed and the few "reds" that are in the poster were slightly faded (if you look at the poster, you can see how little red there is in it!). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. A very talented restorer expertly backed the poster, and they also performed touch up to the few red areas (mostly the space man's vest), to restore it to the exact color it originally was. The poster displays well from any reasonable viewing distance, and will look great on the new owner's wall!
