I did think that was strange. I looked at the picture and noticed it wasn't a tri-fold but a linenbacked one sheet. The other thing that is interesting about the Help one sheet, is that it is notoriously not exactly 27x41. I have framed many Help one sheets. All have been folded, national screen service style, and they often measure about 40 1/2. Many years ago when I framed the first one, I noted the size and thought it might have been trimmed, but all four quandrants of the poster were the same size, about 10 1/8" instead of 10 1/4". However, I have linenbacked and framed many more and, as I recall, they all turn out to be that same slightly undersized dimension. I think there has been some talk here on the forum in past years about that issue and mentioned in auctions when they are being sold. Perhaps there are some straight 27x41's out there as there could be some from two different print sources. I will also note that they could be posters that were intended for foreign distribution as they were often pack and shipped that way.

And why is she selling them so cheap? If she held onto them for all these years, when they were running up in price, why didn't she sell most of them then? And, why, having held them this long, is she now selling them for so much less than they would have gone for anytime in the last, what, 15 years? Or, for that matter, for so much less than what they would go for today if sold one at a time in public auctions? None of this makes much sense to me. PS - I've always been happy with posters I've purchased from so, so I repeat that my questions are no reflection on you. I just don't get what is going on here. -- JR [email protected] wrote: I found out there are ONLY 10 of these one sheets left, then they'll be GONE. The only reason I'm sending this post is that the seller (her name is Marci) requested all inquiries/orders/etc to be directed to her email address, which is [email protected] If you read her desciption, she has had these one sheets in storage for the past 30 years, back when she was dealing in a lot of Beatles material in Hollywood. Not only does she have a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE that they're original and authentic, but if anybody can prove otherwise, I'll GLADLY GIVE THEM A HUNDRED BUCKS MYSELF! Believe me, I wouldn't make that statement unless I were 100% CERTAIN of their authenticity. It will be a long time before you'll find original, tri-folded NEAR MINT HELP! US one sheets with TITLE AND DATE STAMPED ON THE BACK listed on eBay or anywhere else...especially at this LOW a price. This is solidly a $700 poster being offer for HALF that price to MoPo members!! Again, please contact Marci at [email protected] ---not through her aucton! Link to auction is below so you can take a look. I'm frankly baffled why certain notoriously OVERPRICED dealers haven't purchased any of these. Probably because every member of MoPo will know what they paid for the "Ultra Rare Help! US 1-Sheet" that they sell for 4 TIMES that amount in their eBay Store a couple weeks after they purchase it! For everyones's information also--I have ONLY RECEIVED POSITIVE EMAILS about these one sheets from those who have purchased them and otherwise! There is NO hidden agenda here! Just a really solid, intelligent deal for the discriminating buyer/investor.
