No, it was folded. But, I did not buy it in a theater. I bought it from a movie poster dealer, The Movie Gallery. Had a nice storefront in Merrick, NY. He had a small pile of them -- 5 or 6. None of them were rolled.
I had not seen -- or heard -- of a rolled copy until I joined Ebay in 2000.

The only thing that puzzles me is where did Lamp get their info from regarding 1st, 2nd and 3rd printing? I bought my A sheet (funky type) within one week of seeing the movie in the summer of 1977. I bought it from a reputable dealer (The Movie Gallery, NY) where I picked the cleanest one from the bunch he had. Could the 3rd printing (funky) have been available that soon after it's initial release? Remember, I'm talking June 1977. The 5 or 6 he had on hand were all funky text, something I had never seen before on any one sheet. I was suspicious of the funky text so, I checked these out at several local theaters showing the movie that summer. All of the ones that I saw in theaters had the funky text. I did not see a universal font on this poster until about 10 years ago. Can someone enlighten me?
