Important Added Info: Note that this is another example of the ultra-rare War of The Worlds style B half-sheet, which sold in our Halloween auction for $20,777. Yet we wrote in our Halloween auction that we had never previously had this poster at auction, despite actively seeking it for 23 years! So how did we come to get it for this auction (and also the equally rare style B half-sheet from Invasion of the Body Snatchers)? Here's what happened: After we auctioned the War of The Worlds style B half-sheet, one of our consignors looked at his example on the wall (which he had framed over ten years before), and to his dismay, he realized it had faded over those ten years. Worse yet, he had it framed side-by-side with the Invasion of the Body Snatchers style B half-sheet (he also had a framed "The Thing" half-sheet on the same wall), and all three had faded (the framer he had used was an expensive one, and they had assured him that they had used high quality UV Plexiglas, but they had saved money by using non UV instead). After it completely sunk in what had happened, he thought it would make sense to consign both of them to us, so that he could put the sad affair out of his mind (the framer who did not use UV glass is out of business, so he has no one to sue). While the reds in this poster have indeed faded to where they are now a light orange, the poster still displays well, and it will be up to our bidders to determine how much of a detraction this defect is (and this really IS a very rare poster!). Also note that this poster has been paperbacked.
