It's a pity he had it linenbacked. Since it was apparently in nice condition, somebody might have actually paid 18 K for an UNBACKED poster...

From his story, he's outside the collecting circle.
Neat story of provenance too.

I obtained a few posters when I was younger simply because I enjoyed them, never really expecting any of them to be or become valuable. I bought the "Creature" poster from a Manitou Springs Colorado antique store in 1977 along with a couple of other 1950's posters that I liked. During most of the intervening time since then they have remained peacefully folded and put away in room temperature storage. You can imagine my surprise when I accidentally discovered that the "Creature" was a valuable rarity.

May well be all he says it is, but knowing what we know now, personally, I wouldn't with a barge pole.
