We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2008! Not only that, but it has a completely different image from that of the one-sheet (or any of the other U.S. posters). Condition: good. The poster has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture (more so around the edges and at center right where there is some surface paper loss - see our image). There are creases and scuff marks scattered in various areas and there are some tears of varying lengths along several portions of the upper edge. The rare poster could be backed and after some proper restoration it will look great, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
