Hi Alan. I have heard a rumor that a full sized one sheet repro/restrike for BLADE RUNNER was made "after hours" at one of the nss printing facilities sometime in the 80's, right around the same time they made the Star Wars one sheet bootlegs. They say it is virtually indistinguishable from an original. As far as I can tell, this is just a rumor. It could be true......but I have seen NO EVIDENCE whatsoever even suggesting that it is. I think if it WERE true......these rolled bootlegs would be everywhere (they aren't) just like the Star Wars style A,B, and C bootlegs. I have seen at least 50 different ORIGINAL one sheets for BLADE RUNNER over the past 10 years........folded, rolled, mangled....etc. I've noticed at least 3 different, possibly 4 different printings. To answer your question, the splotchy nss paraghraph is common on some of them, even folded ones. They weren't printing currency, so the quality control wasn't perfect. Maybe the splotchy ones came at the beginning or end of the print run? We will never know. If it is full size 27" x 41" and it looks, feels and smells (yes, smells) just like a folded one, and the paper it is printed on is the same, then it is probably authentic. Best, Dave

It has the title BLADE RUNNER to the left of the NSS number at bottom right. My concern is that it has a splotchy NSS paragraph and Printed In USA line - Since you appear to be an expert on this title - My question is can this be authentic with splotchy NSS?
