Anyway, many of the experts here seem to think there are tons of these out there, so maybe some of them can find a set for you.
But given how so many here thought the 20 or less was ridiculous, how about someone finding even ONE set for sale or auction?

Where did you pull that from? I was arguing that the 20 figure seemed very arbitrary and that either many more were produced (and subsequently destroyed after the date change) or that far
fewer were produced to begin with. Either way, this simple fact that haven't popped up tells you that not many are around.
I was suggesting that throwing around a rumored actual number was a used car sales technique of Dave L. proportions. That, and whatever EXPERT you have doing your auctions might need a refresher course on wilding posters...
As for the purpose of this thread - the Fight Club discussion is a perfect example of some valuable information coming to light, although it can be hard to make out between all of these silly gifs derailing the actual discussion, but usually it's just an excuse for Bruce to pimp his auctions other than in the sales or dealer threads.
BTW, the Fight Club/Suncoast issue is one well worth bringing up again... I was under the impression that Suncoast reprinted their own posters, SS and slightly smaller than originals (I know they sold 27x40 Star Wars A & C's, but more recent reprints were closer in size to the originals). If that's the case, then there would have been a second printing of the FC wildings, as Mark's info suggests, sometime just after the time of release. Suncoast passed through several hands and bankruptcy in '05 and '06 and I could certainly see them liquidating old stock at some point, which could account for the second wave hitting around that time.
