Speaking of Jaws, I saw that Susan Backline signs copies of this photo at shows she attends.
Is this a real poster, or did someone mock up this for her and include fold lines and everything when they made it?

I follow Jaws posters closely and I don't believe that is a studio produced piece.

I'm no expert, but I've been collecting Jaws posters here and there, and this poster doesn't exist.

As far as the other one is concerned, yes, there are all dark blue.  International posters from Italy or Australia did use a lighter shade of blue. 

Here's a link to my Jaws poster sub-collection so you can see what I'm talking about.

Can anyone advise if there exists a rolled version of the Jaws one sheet without the NSS number?

EMP has one example in their archive that does not have a NSS number on it.

Are you by chance asking in regards to an example currently on eBay? I would avoid that one since it doesn't measure 27 by 41.

With all due respect to the Star Wars 77x0ae934r or whatever hell the number is, that is a totally different situation as there are other versions of the Star Wars 77 poster that are original that collectors can opt for that don't have the 3q43rqroqrqew numbers at the bottom. I sure as freaking hell wish there were two versions of the original Jaws poster. One for the idiots to buy that says 75232.0--3-4r3 and the regular one for sensible people like myself to pick up. But unfortunately, that is not part of the mystic of the Jaws 75 one sheet poster. Again, there is nothing post 70 that resembles the hype of the Jaws poster, nothing.

Reading through this thread, I'm not sure what is hard to understand about the Jaws poster pricing. The Jaws OS is probably the most recognizable movie image in the world. While Star Wars may have eclipsed Jaws at the box office, it does not have as broad of appeal. Also, as stated, there are far more examples of Star Wars.

As others have stated, many non-collectors desire this poster and want to be able to say that the one hanging in their home or office is an original from the 70s. Yes, normal people care about and desire this poster more than others from this period.

I would argue that the "Revenge" teaser for Jedi has a similar "hype" or "aura" as you put it, though on a smaller scale. The Revenge teaser is not rare, but commands huge numbers because of its perceived rarity and mystique.

Thankfully, I was a nerd in 1983 and purchased mine through the fan club for around 10 bucks. It is not in perfect condition because I was 10 and had no way of knowing that it would become valuable. But I would never replace it because of its personal history.

I just noticed that for the first time in a couple of years, more than 30 days has gone by that emovie has not offered a copy of Jaws.
Maybe the supply is finally drying up.   eyeroll

Their move to holding auctions every other week is certainly a factor in that.

What a great movie!  Hard to beat the scar comparing scene and Quint's Indianapolis story. Robert Shaw was golden. As Quint, he reminds me so much of my grandfather. Okie

I'm not sure if you're joking. I have an alert set up for Jaws and that didn't pop up for me.

What you guys need to get is a rolled one.  That's the "rare" one.

True, Bruce has only sold six of those in the last two years.

It's probably the greatest travesty in the history of poster collecting that the greatest film of the 1970's (hardly a feat, considering) has the ugliest image I've ever seen. For starters, the shark doesn't even look scary and it doesn't look like a Great White - its head is too narrow - it resembles a Grey Nurse shark, totally harmless! To me, the poster is worthless - I wouldn't offer anything for it and it's so frustrating as I'd really like some paper from this title (or franchise). The closest I've got was almost bidding on a Jaws 2 teaser with the red/orange background but even that is a bit naff. I'd settle for a fan made poster at this point. Does anyone know if the Italians created a non-generic one? It's funny, I'm not a fan of anything Italian - don't like their food, architecture, home design, furniture or fashion but I have to hand it to them, their posters - of usually the most striking scene or image are unforgettable.

The Italians used the same images as you see on the US one sheet. There is an Italian 1P teaser without any text other than the title that is super clean.

Probably one of my favorite poster.  This is the 7 sheet which I bought a little while back.



I have an Indian one sheet that I had never seen before en route to me.

The rest can be seen in my sub gallery here... https://www.moviepostersgallery.com/jaws/

Thanks, Eric. I'm familiar with those, I almost bought the Turkish, although I think the Indian is my favourite of the official posters - so cheap, so tacky, so good - Uhhrrrrr..

Thierry, I thought the seven sheet Jaws didn't have a dark border - or any border? It's certainly an improvement over the one sheet, owing to the lack of text but the shark is still a Grey Nurse! Yes, I've seen your collection. The one of Robert Shaw on the boat is the best although I think the perspective is off, slightly. It's almost there, but isn't everything...

That is sure something! I don't suspect a lot of other people are going to be clamoring over that one.

I've shared a couple of my pieces but not very many of them. This is a good reason to start doing that. There are a few Jaws pieces that I have that you don't but you are definitely way ahead of me, especially on the super rare stuff. I have more from the sequels, especially the junk from Jaws 3D and Jaws: The Revenge.

Yeah, I don't collect Jaws 3D and Revenge.  Only the first Jaws really, because it's Spielberg's and I collect his stuff.  I have a few Jaws 2, but very few.

Show me what I'm missing from the 1st one.  I'm always interested.  Like this Indian os.  Didn't even know it existed until I saw it.

This one looks like a Simpsons episode. Jaws comes to Lake Springfield.
