Quite right Kirby, they really should have spotted the 1970 copyright at
the bottom...
Didn't realize this sale was coming up. Haven't had the chance to look
through it all yet, but on a much lesser scale the Lady and Tramp quad is a
re-release too.

The folks at Christies South Kensington have made a mistake regarding
the 2001 Starchild poster which is in their May 2nd auction this week.
As has been discussed on this forum before the StarChild poster with the
higher valuation is the one which is entirely undated and has no copyright
text along the bottom border. To the best of my knowledge whenever these
posters have surfaced they have shown no evidence of ever having been
folded.
MovieArt has one of these poster with a chip out of the border area.
Heritage
sold one in their last auction. In the 90s one of these sold at Sothebys
for an
even higher price, around $5000, as I remember. In any event they are
rare,
and it is easy to make the mistake that the very similar style overprinted
with
date on the bottom is the same poster.
I have telephoned Christies about the mistake.
