I think I can answer that: This auction was run by "Door-to-Door" auctions -- one of those new services where people just hand over their stuff to them and they auction it for them. A lot of people have questioned if these services can provide the kind of expertise needed to properly auction collectibles. In this case, technically, they did put it in the right category. Technically, it *is* a reproduction in some ways I suppose. But most collectors would consider it an "original" -- assuming it is the original as issued for the promotion of a release of the film. Anyone ever hear of any later-date reproductions of these large-size 3D holographic posters? Seems it would be a pretty expensive endeavor.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] $481 for a reproduction of a 2001 post card?

All the 3-D almost one sheet size posters I have seen for 2001 have the CINERAMA logo on them - http://cinerama.topcities.com/20013d.htm. I guess maybe when the movie played at non CINERAMA theatres they could of had the same 3-D poster without the CINERAMA logo? I wonder why the seller put it under the Posters > Reproductions > 2000-Now EBAY category if  it was a 1968 original release? Does anyone have the pressbooks for 2001 for the Cinerama release and non Cinerama release? That would show all the posters available to the movie theatre.

Looks original to me. The 3-D displays for 2001 not only came in the postcard size, but also as 11x14s and in app. one-sheet size.

What you can tell from the images, this appears to be 3-D.

Seems to me somebody got a steal here...

$481 for a reproduction? This looks like a blow up of one of the 3-D postcards I have of 2001 a space odyssey.
