A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
All photos shown are of the actual poster you are bidding on.

WE DO NOT SELL REPRODUCTIONS OF ANY KIND. NO FAKES, NO REPRINTS.
Perfect for a Hi End home theater.
Highly sought after by movie poster collectors and aficionados.
This is what all you LORD OF THE RINGS fans have been waiting for!
This is a genuine 27"x40" U.S. one sheet DOUBLE SIDED ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTER
issued by the studio when the film was released and meant for
theatrical display.
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:
C9-C10
NEAR MINT-MINT
This poster is virtually flawless! It may have 1 extremely
minor imperfection.
Unused!! Virtually flawless!
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! It is a REAL
ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTER issued by the studio when the film was
released and meant for theatrical display.
We are absolutely certain it is authentic.

Revised
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.
Also
please note that most movie posters were actually used at the theater,
and some will contain slight imperfections like writing on the back,
pin holes, fold wear, small tears, etc. These are all very common and
to be expected, but if they bother you, all these minor flaws can be
remedied in the linen backing process. Linen Backing
preserves and can actually increase the value of a poster. For the most
part, any flaws will be fixed and the poster will appear to be in Near
Mint condition. For more details please click on the link above or call
602 309 0500 and ask for Dave.
Unless
otherwise specified, poster measurements quoted above are approximate
to the nearest inch. For example, if we say a poster is 27"x41" its
precise measurements may be something like 26 3/4" x 40 7/8". This is
quite common for all original movie posters.
BEWARE OF "FAKE" MOVIE POSTERS!!
There
are fakes, bootlegs, reprints, and reproductions of almost every
popular movie poster. WE DO NOT SELL THESE AS ORIGINALS LIKE OTHERS DO!
There are many unscrupulous dealers
who successfully pass off these posters as originals. They have been
doing it for years! These fakes are almost indistinguishable from
originals, only experts can tell. Many who buy them don't know they
have been taken; only years later when they sell them do they find out
they are worthless. Most are from popular movies from the 70's and
80’s, but there are also really old ones and relatively new ones as
well. They usually appear in insert size 14" x 36" and one sheet size
27" x 40". Again, all we can say is BEWARE!! For
more information please see our EBAY GUIDES link above.
We grade our posters according to the Iguide Universal 10-Point Movie Poster Grading Scale, which is summarized below:
C10 Mint - Investment quality. No perceptible flaws of any kind. C9 Near Mint - Investment quality. Minor flaw on an otherwise unused poster. C8 Excellent - Investment quality. A few minor defects. C7 Very Good to Excellent - Fine condition. Still a very nicely preserved item. C6 Very Good - The typical used poster in average condition. C5 Good to Very Good - A heavily-worn item. C4 Good - Below average but still suitable for display. C3 Fair - Heavily worn, but yet still complete. C2 Poor to Fair - An extremely worn, possibly even incomplete item. C1 Poor - The lowest grade, representing items in the lowest possible condition.
For details on this grading system please see our Ebay Guide GRADING / CONDITION.
Some
of our posters are "between grades". For example, a C8-C9 poster will
contain all the qualities/characteristics of a Near Mint C9 except for
one or two very minor flaws that we believe prevent it from being a
true C9.
WE WILL COMBINE SHIPPING AT NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR MULTIPLE AUCTION WINS! How many posters can be combined in one shipment
at no extra charge?
If all of your purchases/wins are rolled and
can be shipped rolled in a tube we will combine up to 10 posters together in
one package at no additional cost to you.
If all of your purchases/wins
are folded and can be shipped folded in a flat package we will combine up
to 20 posters together in one package at no additional cost to you.
Sometimes it is possible to ship folded and
rolled posters together in one package by rolling the folded ones and shipping
them all in one tube.....but sometimes it isn't possible to do this. Sometimes
we can't roll a folded poster. If this is the case then we must split your
wins/purchases into two separate packages and you will be charged for a second
shipment.
All wins/purchases must be paid for within 7
days.
If you would like us to wait for you to accumulate several posters and
have them shipped all together so you can save on shipping, please send
us a
separate email containing your name, your ebay id, and ebay listing
number(s)
and we will hold your items until you tell us to ship them. Please note

RETURNABLE....WE WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNS IN THIS SITUATION....OUR
RETURN POLICY (see below) WILL NOT APPLY.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL
FOR SHIPMENTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.A.!!
ALL SHIPPING METHODS INCLUDE EXTRA STURDY PACKAGING.
HOW WE PACKAGE OUR POSTERS
We take extra special care when we package
your items. For folded posters, we put them in a plastic bag or envelope and in
between two or four pieces of STRONG cardboard and tape it together before
placing in the shipping envelope/box. We stamp “DO NOT BEND” all over the
outside of the package. For rolled posters we put them in a STRONG 3” or
greater diameter tube with thick walls at least 3/16” or 1/4" or thicker.
We roll the poster into a smaller diameter than the tube. This is VERY
IMPORTANT because it gives the edges strength and helps to prevent them from
getting wrinkled. We then wrap with paper or plastic and tape it closed and put
soft cushioning material (also very important!) on the ends to prevent them
from getting damaged. We stamp “FRAGILE: DO NOT BEND” all over the outside of
the package.
EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ
To protect ourselves, we insure expensive
items for the FULL AMOUNT. Import Duties for the European Union apply to any
item bought overseas whether or not we list it as a gift on the shipping
manifest. In the UK
for example, they apply to any gift over £35 and to any item that is not a gift
over £18. These costs can be quite substantial and include a Value added Tax
and a Parcel Force Clearance Fee. These combined charges can add up to 25% or
more to your final cost. For other European countries the charges will differ.
Please check with your postal system on their procedure for packages from
overseas so you are not unpleasantly surprised.
