Rolled, never folded. For the ultimate STAR WARS fan, this is the holy grail . This is the FIRST poster ever issued for STAR WARS. It is NOT a poster that was issued to theaters. Designed by Howard Chaykin, this poster was issued in 1976 well before the movie was released in May 1977. It is said that only 1000 were made (some say more) and it was sold/given away at the San Diego Comic Con and in comic book stores to promote the Marvel comic book. Extremely rare and highly sought after, these very rarely are offered for sale. Most probably did not survive because at the time no one knew what a phenomenon Star Wars would become. THERE ARE BOOTLEGS/REPRODUCTIONS OF THIS POSTER!!! These can be very difficult to find in any condition! A long time can go by without one of these coming up for sale. You will have trouble finding a nicer one. CONDITION/GRADE: C8-C9 EXCELLENT-NEAR MINT This poster has a few minor imperfections. Not in perfect shape but still very presentable. Well preserved.

If a vintage poster is in terrific unrestored condition like this one (EX C8 or better), many experienced collectors will place a premium on it (when compared to a linen backed/restored one). Most experienced collectors prefer unrestored items to restored ones because they believe they will appreciate more in value. When buying collectibles it is always wise to buy "the best of the best" as they stand a greater chance of appreciation. This poster is considered to be within that class and is definitely INVESTMENT QUALITY. This is NOT a reprint or reproduction poster! We are absolutely certain it is authentic.

Revised/Updated Please be aware that most Original Movie Posters issued before the mid 1980's were issued FOLDED (over 95%). This is NOT considered a defect. They were shipped to theaters this way. Vintage rolled posters do exist, however they are extremely rare. We can have any folded poster Linen Backed which will make the fold lines virtually disappear.
