Original STAR WARS style B Teaser Advance 27x41 movie theater poster,

THIS POSTER WAS NEVER DISPLAYED. IT HAS NO FADING. very very fine/near mint. Any flaw in it is tiny.

THIS WAS THE SECOND ADVANCE ONE-SHEET RELEASED FOR STAR WARS. 77/21-0

THE BLACK MOVIE TRAILERS ARE HOLDING THE POSTER FLAT FOR THE PICTURE

PLEASE READ FULLY THIS NOTE. MISINFORMATION ON THIS POSTER HAS BEEN SPREAD BY PEOPLE WHO EVEN SELL IT CALLING IT BOOTLEG. THAT IS NOT ACCURATE. SEVERAL LUCAS FILM POSTERS WERE MADE IN NON UNION SHOPS, YOU CAN DO THAT SIMPLY WITH YOUR OWN RESEARCH. I ONLY GIVE MY FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE ON POSTERS NOT SOME THEORY.  FOR EXAMPLE, THE SPANISH VERSION OF THIS POSTER HAS NO "GAU" AND WAS PRINTED BY A NON UNION SHOP. A FEW FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR OVER 40 YEARS LIKE MYSELF HAVE DISCUSSED THE IDEA/THEORY THAT THIS POSTER WAS MADE FOR ENGLISH SPEAKING COMMUNITIES IN SPANISH DOMINATED COUNTRIES. THAT IS A THEORY, MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE THAT CALLS THIS A FAKE POSTER BECAUSE IT HAS NO "GAU"! WHY WOULD SOMEONE BOOTLEG A POSTER AND LEAVE IT OFF?

IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MY DESCRIPTION, PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT AND SEND IT BACK

Star Wars Advance 1977 (Blue Style) .

There are 2 versions of this that were authorized and printed by National Screen Service .The GAU is the union logo that appears on most original theatrical posters found on the lower white border in the center . One version of this Star Wars Advance has the logo on it , the second does not . At the Cleveland location that I worked at there had been an altercation with the Union steward and some of the printers . There had been a short strike for a week causing some problems with the use of the logo on posters . Thus , it was omitted from the printing of this particular poster out of the Cleveland NSS location . Both of these versions of this poster are to be considered original ! THANKS TO Prof. Leonard Powers FOR THIS INFORMATION.

THE PROFESSOR WAS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE FROM 1965 TO 1988. HIS WEBSITE IS PROVIDING ACCURATE INFORMATION UNLIKE THE RIDICULOUS AND SCANDALOUS WEBSITES AND CHATROOMS

Theaters were given several items for display. 8x10 and 11x14 lobby cards, b/w photos, 14x36 "inserts", 22x28 "1/2 sheet", "1 sheet" posters originally 27x41 and currently 27x40, 30x40, 40x60, 41x81 etc. The decision as to what was purchased was made by, the manager, owner,regional manager of a chain of theaters etc. Free items from the studio had no cut and dry rule either.

THERE MAY BE A FLASH GLARE IN THE PICTURE.ANY FLAW THAT IS IN THE ITEM IS TINY. I AM NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING WITH A BAD PHOTO :-). MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED,

I AM A WELL KNOWN POSTER DEALER, I HAVE SOLD MOVIE POSTERS FULL TIME SINCE 1980, I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD IN BULK DURING THAT TIME, I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD TO MANY CELEBRITIES AS WELL AS THE GRUNTS BEHIND THE SCENES. I HAVE BEEN CONSULTANT TO TELEVISION, RADIO AND MAGAZINE REGARDING MOVIE MEMORABILIA

1ST THEATER RELEASE

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL RELEASE, THIS POSTER WAS PRINTED FOR 20TH CENTURY FOX UNDER TO BE DISPLAYED AT THEATERS AS ADVERTISEMENT, THIS IS NOT A REPRINT, REISSUE, RESTRIKE OR REANYTHING. IF YOU WANT TO INDULGE IN SOME INTERNET CONSPIRACY ABOUT POSTERS, PLEASE, DO NOT BUY THIS POSTER. MOVIE PAPER COLLECTING IS NOT A NEW PHENOMENON THAT JUST HAPPENED SINCE EBAY CAME INTO EXISTENCE. I HAVE COLLECTED THIS ITEM AND 1000'S OF OTHERS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FROM SEVERAL SOURCES SINCE 1980. I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD THOUSANDS OF POSTERS DURING THAT TIME

THIS ITEM CAME FROM MY RETAIL STORES INVENTORY, I CLOSED MY LAST STORE IN MARIN COUNTY CA. IN 1999. PRIOR TO EBAY'S ARRIVAL THERE WERE VERY FEW FULL TIME MOVIE PAPER DEALERS IN THE U.S. AND EVEN LESS THAT HANDLED PRIMARILY CURRENT TITLES, (1970 & LATER). THE FEW OF US THERE WERE BOUGHT, SOLD AND TRADED WITH EACH OTHER. HOWEVER, OUR SALES WERE ISOLATED TO OUR STORES OR IF WE TRAVELED TO ANTIQUE SHOWS AND COLLECTORS EVENTS. COLLECTIONS WOULD COME IN FROM THE PUBLIC TO MY LOCATION BECAUSE THEY HAD NO WHERE ELSE TO SELL THEM. I BOUGHT POSTERS IN SMALL AND LARGE AMOUNTS, 1 TO 1000 COPIES AND MORE.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN 1984, I LEFT ONE THEATER WITH 23 SUITCASES FULL OF 68 LBS OF POSTERS IN EACH ONE. 70LBS WAS THE WEIGHT LIMIT TO GET ON A PLANE. I PAID MORE FOR THE EXTRA LUGGAGE THAN I DID THE POSTERS. THE JAMES BOND POSTERS ALONE SOLD FOR MORE THAN $80,000 IN 1998.

IN THE LATE 1970'S AND EARLY 1980'S POSTERS WERE STILL AVAILABLE TO BE BOUGHT DIRECT FROM NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE. I BOUGHT SOME TO SELL AS FAST AS I COULD, HOWEVER, I COULD HAVE BOUGHT POSTERS THAT WOULD BE WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AT TODAYS PRICES FOR$1-$4 EACH. AT THE TIME THERE WASN'T ENOUGH BUYERS TO SELL TO AND KEEP A CASH FLOW. FOR EXAMPLE, I COULD BUY A REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE FOR $4 AND WAIT 6 MONTHS TO SELL IT FOR $100 OR BUY 20 STAR WARS POSTERS AND SELL THEM IN A MONTH FOR $500.

COLLECTIONS CAME TO ME WHILE WORKING ANTIQUE SHOWS IN THE MALLS IN THE 1980'S. SEVERAL STUDIO AND PRINTER EMPLOYEES BROUGHT ME POSTERS WHILE I WORKED THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MALLS. ONE INTERESTING THING IS THAT THE VIDEO STORES IN THE EARLY 1980'S WERE GETTING ORIGINAL POSTERS WITH THEIR TAPE ORDERS. THOSE USUALLY HAD THE EXTRA FOLD.

IN THE EARLY 1990'S MY STORE IN MARIN BROUGHT IN MORE POSTERS THAN I WILL EVER BE ABLE TO SELL.

I HAVE BOUGHT OUT REGIONAL WAREHOUSES BOTH IN DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN LOCATIONS

I COULD TELL STORIES FOR DAYS LIKE THIS, HOWEVER, NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR THEM :-). I HAVE NOT TOLD MY HISTORY BEFORE BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE BRAGGING TO ME, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SO MANY RIDICULOUS RUMORS GOING UNCHECKED ON THE INTERNET, AS WELL AS INTENTIONAL FRAUD I HAVE LAID SOME OF MY CREDENTIALS OUT FOR CUSTOMERS TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE DEALING WITH. IF MY AUCTION SAYS ORIGINAL, THEN IT IS ORIGINAL. I HAVE NOT BUILT A BUSINESS SINCE 1980 ON BEING DISHONEST. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH AN ITEM, I HAVE A NO QUESTIONS ASKED, FULL REFUND POLICY.
