Kudos to you and all other dealers who do this. It's good for the
hobby and I personally like the idea of trackable provenance.

Good news for Phil and all other long time fans. I have made a deal
with Ed to let him use the contents of the "book" in his forthcoming
NSS book for a token payment!
Please know that "the book" has assigned NSS numbers, which are not
always the actual numbers movies ended up with. We record the NSS
(and/or litho numbers) of every single item we sell, and we are
moving forward with our plan to have an online database in 2009 that
has the NSS numbers from both "the book" and our records, plus the
litho numbers, for all titles.

There seem to be more of these "1971/stamped 1974" out there than
non-stamped 1974s from my experience. Every time one passes through
over the years it's always a stamped one.
Oddly, and I am sure coincidentally only, several I have seen have
also had two extra (soft) vertical creases, as if they had been
folded over again... but in all other respects have appeared
completely unused. One I had had the 74/xxx stamp on back crossed
out with a single line - but by who, why or when I have no idea.
Does Bruce's (almost legendary) NSS number book go up to 1974? If
so, it would interesting to know if that number on the back of the
1971 poster lines up with the number in the book.
If someone has a 1971 non-stamped AND a 1971 stamped 74/xxxx on
verso and can photograph them side by side and do a comparitive to
printing, colouration, size etc, would be useful.
One of the problems of any images on the internet pulled from
different sources is that the accuracy of the image in terms of
colour, printing quality, etc cannot be guaranteed.

Hi Roger,
I'm glad the information helps..
As for my opinion on the R74 poster in question…
If you are familiar with NSS, I believe they had 6 regional print
shops in operation at that time. NJ, Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas,
Wichita and Los Angeles. Each warehouse normally kept the posters
for about 6 years. The NSS number is actually a control number for
all items they had in stock associated with that release. If the
film was re-released and they had usable posters left in stock, they
would utilize the same posters, mark through the old control number
and write in the new number.
I believe the poster you are referring to was probably printed late
in 1971 in one of the regional warehouses and since it didn't have
the old number on it, when they needed more for the 74 rerelease,
they just stamped the back and shipped them.
Proving that is a different matter without finding someone that was
there. For documentation purposes, it has a different stamp on the
back so I have to list it separately until some type of proof can be
found.
I hope this helps,
ed

Ed,
Thanks for the info on the bizarre and confusing Starchild posters.
Do you think the 1974 non-NSS posters are from the same print run as
the 1971 non-NSS posters? The two posters seem to be the same,
except the 1974 poster has "R 74-294" stamped on the back. Or do you
think they just re-used the old printing plates for the 1974 release?
It seems like they went out of their way to break every convention
on these Starchild posters.
Thanks,
Roger

Hi All,
For those who are 2001 collectors, we know that there is a lot of
confusion over some of the posters issued, especially the Star Child
posters. So we have gone through trying to untangle and document as
much as possible from the files that we have. We now have almost 100
different 2001 posters in the archive.
If you are an average collector, this should help. If you are an
advanced collector, take a look and see if we have anything major
missing. We know that there are some holes, mainly because we don't
have good images on some of them. But if there's something important
missing, we'd like to know about it.
