Rare and Highly Desirable.. The Style A "First Printing" Star Wars One Sheet in Amazing UNUSED Condition!

Original Star Wars style A one sheet from this 1977 classic. With the well known proof of authenticity mark, the "union stamp" at bottom. And, NO "Hair line" on Luke's belt, which IF present would indicate a "pirated copy". (* See enlargeable images below)
*NOTE: And if this FIRST PRINTING doesn't excite you enough, it gets even better! Because this Authentic gem is Tri-folded Only, meaning Only horizontal folds, NO vertical folds (Most all one sheets prior to 1980 were folded four times, vertically and horizontally).. This Incredible 100% UN-Restored find has NO Vertical FOLD LINE and looks like it just came off the printing plate over 45 years ago. And is most surely UNUSED with no sign of displaying or handling! The colors and gloss are pristine !
Condition: This historical Sci Fi one sheet movie poster is in Mint condition. It is in completely UN-Restored, UNUSED Condition.
ALSO, note in the enlargeable images a Rare phenomenon ! With other First Print one sheets you may have seen, including the one that sold this past weekend at a well known auction for $4000, the fold lines that go across have “broken color” due to multiple times being folded. In THIS one sheet we are offering you will notice the fold lines that go across have virtually No “broken color”. Which is why you don’t see white lines running Vertically down the poster. This is due to being unused and stored for the past 45 years. And also, because after it was discovered it was Not refolded but rolled which is how we have it stored today. Hence, a spectacular Gorgeous mint condition one sheet.

IMPORTANT INFO:
This original 1977 one sheet First Printing poster originates directly from the ILM studio advertising department at Skywalker Ranch and was never sent out to a theater for display. It is 27" x 41", in C-10 mint condition; folded (Horizonal Only) and then rolled with no flaws or vertical folds.
This is a genuine original movie poster issued for theatrical display by the studio in 1977 when the film was first released.
This came from a small find at Skywalker Ranch that were held as a back up supply in the advertising department during the actual movie release 44 years ago.

Background on the Style A "Star Wars" One Sheets:
One of the most coveted of all Original Star Wars movie posters is this Style A "First Printing" one sheet. There were Four known printings, most of the one sheets released were from the 3rd and 4th printings, with the 2nd being more rare, and the most rare of all, the First Printing.
* The most obvious differentiation is the FIRST PRINTING has across the bottom border "one sheet - style A" and the NSS number as "77/21-0". The following 2nd, 3rd and 4th printing just have 77/21. * See enlargeable images above and below.
The intense and even obsessive Star Wars fan base has made this one of the best investments in the world of collecting. With tremendous appreciation value. With such fervent demand this FIRST PRINTING Star Wars gem could be selling for over $5000 in a matter of a few years!
