retailer This is an original 1-sheet movie poster for PORKY'S, from 1980. Incidentally, Porky's was directed by Bob Clark, who a few years later would direct the classic holiday movie A Christmas Story.
These posters were sent to theaters who booked the movie, and were used to advertise the film. The National Screen Service, NSS, number and ownership status on the bottom of the poster helps verify its authenticity. It measures 27”x41” exactly.
This poster, however, appears to have never been used. It's in excellent condition.
Movie posters were generally folded prior to 1980, then they started to be rolled. It's common for a film before 1980 to be folded. These folds can be completely hidden if the poster is linen-mounted. You can certainly have it heat-mounted as well, which would also remove all folds. However, heat-mounting also renders the poster valueless. Linen-mounting is a completely reversible process, and has become the collector standard for preservation.
I AM A NEW SELLER ON ETSY. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTERS FOR 35 YEARS.
But I have been selling on another selling website. Recently, I have become annoyed with that sites policies, and listing caps. If you have any questions for me, please contact me any time.
