Damn, the seller doesn't offer shipping to the US. Kind of kills it for me.

That is a beaut!

Can you imagine the cost to ship that anywhere, let alone the US?

$11.

Oh wait, this isn't EMP.

If you guys don't buy this, you are nuts! I would give my eye teeth for that (if I knew what eye teeth were).

Ok somebody buy it and have it shipped piece by piece - sort of like a very slow Ikea delivery

I love it but 1000KM drive to get it, so add in accommodation and more, plus I don't own anything that big to carry it so add in ute hire or similar...

[Bruce]

Make it airtight, and float-able, add a sail, and sail in it to here and I'll buy it from you. And you'll get worldwide media attention (and Disney will buy your story)!

Well, I am in Brisbane, but that sucker is too big

This just popped up on mopo.

What is this exactly? Any ideas?

Starting bid is £300.00



The seller calls it (incorrectly) a window card. Dimensions stated are 22x30 inches. No Universal logo, extra wide side borders, Bottom credits bordered in black. Is it just a bad commercial reprint of either the half sheet (or maybe the title lobby card?) Even if that, why would the Universal International printed name and logo have been covered over, in the lower right?

Here is the half sheet for reference:

Maybe this will help from Mr Waines

Looks to be the ticket, Steve. Thanks. From extra wide borders in the one, to right and top border-less in Mr Waines' copy.

I never expected to hear that from you, Mr. onesheetsaretiny

I dunno...it kind of looks like fabric opposed to paper?  Anyways, if it is the Portal it's very faded!

[paul waines]

Thanks steve, I was just about to go searching my photos for that pic, saved me a job. I forgot I posted that...


And what happened to Harry's Portal list, did he give up...?  Maybe Mel should take up the rains....

it's no surprise to me that Marklawd won this poster. Mark also informed me that the poster was not used to promote the film, but rather to promote Oswald Cobblepot for Mayor of Gotham in the movie.. In other words, this poster is a movie prop and probably went for a supreme bargain

[skyjackers]

I have this poster also and have always wondered about it's true origins. Mine is the same as this, untrimmed and I was told it was an unused prop also, which is nice if true. I'm just not sure how you prove it.

and congrats for having one.. has to be a very low number poster. glad I had one to keep

[Harry Caul]

It's definitely a cool poster.  But I'm not sure how rare it is.  I've probably seen a dozen or more for sale in various places over the last few years. That was a good price for Mark though.  At auction I've seen it sell for double that or more.
