It IS one of the GREAT designs. I just picked this one up on Ebay a few weeks back. It is from a 1984 screening with the San Jose Symphony. It's on heavy stock and absolutely beautiful.

I've never seen the Portal version, maybe it will be better quality than the repro that Moviegoods and others routinely sell for $20. I note that the seller really didn't claim it was an original just that it was a "vintage poster". This has become a common descriptive ploy used by all those selling poster prints. In this case, however, he actually did state it was a "later issue" even if he did neglect to mention the less-than-27x41 size and the presence of the Portal credit line at the bottom of the poster. Heck, if you think about it, the Portal releases sort of do qualify as "vintage" posters at this point -- they are now pushing 35 years old! It will be interesting to see what it really looks like. -- JR lovenoir2 wrote: The seller tries to say this is a "later re-release" from 1924.
