Important Added Info: Note that this special poster (referred to in the hobby as a "7-sheet", because it is slightly larger than a six-sheet) was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap, similar to a six-sheet from this time period. We have previously three times auctioned this 7-sheet, which is the "international" style, and they sold for $8,250, $8,200, and $7,250, but two of those posters were not linenbacked, which naturally costs a lot for a poster of this size! THIS POSTER IS ONE OF THOSE THREE POSTERS WE PREVIOUSLY AUCTIONED, WHICH HAS BEEN RECONSIGNED, SO IT IS STILL ONLY ONE OF THREE INTERNATIONAL STYLE 7-SHEETS WE HAVE AUCTIONED! The reason we know it is the international style is because we previously auctioned a very similar 7-sheet, and that poster had a tagline in the left and also "Opens June 20 Everywhere" in the lower left, with the shark image solely in the lower right. That poster was a domestic 7-sheet (and it sold for $11,000), and this poster is the international style 7-sheet. The reason this one doesn't have a date on it is because the filmmakers knew when it would open in the U.S. when they printed the domestic 7-sheet, but they could not put a date on the international 7-sheet, because it would be used in several different countries that would have different opening dates. This international 7-sheet has a perfectly centered shark image, so some might consider it more visually appealing than the domestic 7-sheet, but of course, it does not have the tagline that the other poster has.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had some small tears and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some folds, with some small tears and tiny paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was really nicely backed, and will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall (and we hope it is in a public place where many people can appreciate it!).
