Dave -- I just read your note below and visited your website page... http://cinemasterpieces.com/cine_E.htm ...and you declaratively state that 27 x 41 E.T. posters not only exist -- but that they are considered "first printings" --
"One printing measures a full 27" x 41" and the other measures 26 3/4" x 40 1/2". The full 27" x 41" version is rarer than the 26 3/4" x 40 1/2" version." Well, this is new information to me after nearly 30 years. What were the measurements of the E.T. bike poster consigned to you -- by the woman you mention below -- who said she got it from ILM? Beyond her statement of provenance/origin, upon what are you basing your declaration that there was a first printing 27 x 41 that is "rarer" than what you state is a "second printing" measuring 26 3/4 x 40 1/2? This is impossible for me to reconcile -- and in my view, further confusing to collectors -- given what I've viewed and handled related to E.T. material here in San Diego -- since the film's original 1982 release. -kuz.David Kusumoto Vice President of Media RelationsRoni Hicks & Associates11682 El Camino Real, Suite 200San Diego, CA 92130 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 17:55:20 -0500From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: E.T. Bicycle 1sh. ?To: [email protected] A client of ours who consigned one to us a few years ago got it while she worked at ILM back when it came out. As she came in to work one day they were in the lobby all rolled up ready to take home..... and everyone who worked there was allowed to take one. It is considered a STUDIO ISSUE.......probably the most desirable one there is. Not meant for theater display.......but still considered an original movie poster. The star wars chaykin however is not a studio issue....it is commercial.....but still highly sought after (obviously). David Lieberman CineMasterpieces.com | 15721 N.
