I have the R51 poster which is nearly identical and much less expensive than the 46 original...  Still, even though the R51 is cheaper by comparison, that doesn't mean it is cheap.  It is stunning though.  My wife really wants to display ours, but I'm not sure we have the wall space for another that size :( 


Good call Harry.  Of course I'd prefer to have an original but I'm not rich so I always buy the re-release poster if it (1) is significantly less expensive than the original and (2) has identical or nearly identical artwork. 

I've saved several thousand dollars buying these re-releases:



The savings enabled me to buy/splurge on these expensive originals that were not re-released:

I had a question about studio vs. NSS posters.  I know most early 80s posters can usually be found rolled, but they seem to always be the studio versions.  Given that the NSS versions are harder to come by rolled, I would think they should command a higher price.  However, I rarely see them differentiated in the descriptions.  For instance, this rolled NSS Blade Runner poster in Bruce's auctions doesn't make any mention of the two versions.  Cinemasterpieces also has a bunch of records of sold, rolled BRs... one is an NSS poster but it isn't differentiated as such.




Now, I know some collectors know about these differences... T in particular owns both versions of the Back to the Future 1-sheet (studio and NSS).  I can only imagine the NSS version was harder to come by...  I guess I was just wondering why the never get differentiated by the sellers?  Do so few people care about the differences that its not worth it?

I don't even remember what rolled version of Blade Runner I have, but I can tell you it doesn't matter to me. I love the movie and I love my poster no matter if it has NSS or not on it. One of my favorite movies and I have the rolled one sheet of it is really all that matters to me.

I messaged through ebay Jim Dietz regarding his "KING KONG,14"X22",EARLY 50'S,BELGIUM FIRST RELEASE" poster for sale:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280579698998
saying it was a 1962 re-release, referencing Heritage:
http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=667&Lot_No=28555
He replied saying "many thanks for the information, jim" but didn't change the listing.

I was over at emovieposter browsing and I cannot stop wondering exactly how many thousands JAWS1975 has invested in Jaws posters. It is really unbelievable (and frustrating). I just watch them skyrocket out of my range.

Well, either Heritage had it wrong or it tells you a bit about the seller

There can be no doubt for the seller, this is my full message...

Hi, I think this is a 1962 release:
http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=667&Lot_No=28555
Identified by the blue square shape in bottom right
As opposed to the 1950's release:

with the blue triangle shape

Well, in Jim's defense post-war Belgians are notoriously hard to date.  If Heritage was the only source I may be inclined to doubt it is well... however in this case it appears eMovieposter agrees:

http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/poster/266955.html

I for one would appreciate it if someone could please explain how to differentiate a For a Few Dollars More original release Belgian from the later reprint.  eMovie and HA have both sold a few and I can't for the life of me discern any consistent difference what so ever! I one of them on eMovie had different fine print text but is listed as R70s like the others...

HA 1967
HA 1967 2
HA R1970s

eMovie R1970s
eMovie R1970s 2
eMovie 1970s 3

Thanks Harry. So emovieposter and Heritage both state it is a 60's version. Rich, one of my links shows a 50's re-release version maybe you are thinking of, but that is not the one Jim has up for auction, Jims one looks looks like a 2nd re-release due to the different blue logo bottom right corner.

not trying to stir the pot here.. I just have an honest question Steve.

rather than post a message which indicates that Heritage has made a mistake of this nature, impuning their reputation in some way (either you're saying they aren't professional, aren't paying attention or are intentionally misrepresenting something), wouldn't it make sense to first email Grey Smith or Bruce Carteron for clarification??

to the point of your post: it doesn't look restored to me and could easily be a print imperfection.

Looks to me like all three pics display different color saturation.
See the range of yellows in "IT?"
Doesn't look restored to me, just variance in the digital pics.

This is a poster that had two known print runs at least. As I described one of them:

"Note that there are two different variations of this poster. One of them has the "3-D" at top left colored in yellow, and also all of the letters of the title. The other is exactly the same as that poster, but the yellow is missing from the letters (and perhaps from the entire poster). Otherwise, the posters are exactly the same, including the NSS information at bottom. My personal belief is that there were two different print runs of this poster, and that one print run did not use the yellow, for unknown reasons (perhaps the answer could be as simple as them running out of yellow ink!)."

So this could be yet a third variation. Of course, in the case of restored posters, the more likely answer is restoration in that area. This could best be resolved if someone produced a "before" image of the poster, but the chances of that are slim to none.
