Doesnt ET deserve a little love, too? Especially when he's SO far from home??   

[longdog]

I'm guessing the brunette is finding out what makes his finger glow!

It does....do you think there's a con going on?

Maybe some shilling? Purely conjecture, of course....

Is this a legitimate re-release or a repro? The seller claims that this poster is for the 1975 re-release but gives the dimensions as 26x40. He says it hasn't been trimmed. I can't see any apparent printer's info on the border, either. This B/W version of the amazing color 1939 first release is pretty good. On close inspection, the Hound's mouth and added teeth in the bottom jaw, on the re-release, are different from the original.

Thoughts?

Hey Chris.. thanks.. it's same exact reworked art. So the year is right. I was asking because the poster is smaller than the normal OS of the period by an inch on both sides.

So it is genuine you think?

I can't say for 100% certain it is, but with the window card being the same and the clear fold lines on the OS, on a balance of probabilities I would be comfortable buying it as a legitimate 70s release...

But I imagine not for the US $879.95 asking price!

[jayn_j]

But I imagine not for the US $879.95 asking price!

I think not, especially considering Bruce sold one for under $60 last year.

http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/15005730.html

Given the timing, this could be the same poster.

[longdog]

But I imagine not for the US $879.95 asking price!

Or even the $1239.95 the seller was originally asking;

Hmmm I checked Bruce's records before I posted and somehow missed that!

[CSM]

But I imagine not for the US $879.95 asking price!

   In all honesty I didn't even look at the price.  My recommendation would to be wait until it's down to $878.95

[Bruce]

"I think not, especially considering Bruce sold one for under $60 last year."

Even MORE absolute proof there are unbelievable bargains in our auctions!

 

Bruce

[jayn_j]

I looked more closely.  The turkey used Bruce's picture and even lifted the condition description word for word.

[erik1925]

I agree.. 879.95 is too high for this...     It's too bad that he also didnt lift Bruce's price (or even a ballpark figure).

I thought those magnets looked familiar!

This is a good one. In his efforts to move this poster he bought from Dave, he is using the Cinemasterpieces photo (cropped) and hopes the letter of authenticity will help speed things up for a happy ending in his paypal account.

The best part is his typed puffery (my favorite parts are in bold):

"FRIDAY THE 13th" (1980)

This is an extremely rare, stunning example of an absolutely original "27x 41" U.S Theatrical 1-Sheet Film Poster of Sean S. Cunningham's classic slasher film "Friday the 13th" (1980).

Graded C-9 – C-10 MINT. Please view photos. This is the actual poster. This example is extremely rare as it is ORIGINAL, MINT, and ROLLED, not folded.

Impossible to find. I have collected film posters for over 35 years. This is perhaps the finest example in existence. You will not find a better example. In my many years of collecting, buying and selling horror/sci-fi/film memorabilia I have only seen 7 other rolled examples of this film (I bought, owned and sold 3), and none were in this condition. Artwork by Alex Ebel.

This poster was purchased through the most revered original film poster seller/company in the world, CinemaMasterpieces. I have the Silver Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and Personal Signature from the owner of the company, Mr. David A. Lieberman (view photo).

One of the greatest horror film posters of all time. Here’s your chance to own a mint, extremely rare and stunning "Friday the 13th" (1980).

[erik1925]

And consider, too, that if one wants to spend a premium for this poster, one can get a C9-10, rolled copy direct from Cm for ONLY 455.00 (per the site).  

What is a "Silver" COA? Anyone know?
