It was mint too cause it was still in the wrapping on cardboard. I paid $20 for it!

I do know there are fakes out there of the final style for Revenge of the Sith that are double-sided, NOT saying they are selling them, but the final style originals have a back-lit anti-counterfeit Lucasfilm logo on the poster, if a seller can't see that on their poster, then you have to question the authenticity because all originals have it stamped on the back, you just have to look for it under the light. Lucas had that done on other posters before too, but not all, I want to say Indiana Jones IV final had it as well as that was also the last official movie poster Struzan did before retiring.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to carefully look for that here soon. I do have the last Indy Jones poster straight from Lucasfilm back when they had the starwarsshop and indianajonesshop on their websites. I was even able to acquire a Temple of Doom Poster straight from the Lucasfilm Archives and after doing research, I figured out it was the true original poster from when it was released!

If memory serves me correctly on the Indy Jones 4 final style, the Lucasfilm logo is on the backside at the bottom center portion of the poster. On the Revenge of the Sith final style, the logo is on the back side right around Padme's hair style about center of the poster. I have both in stock and checked all of my inventory and they have them on the posters.

I checked my Indy 4 poster, and it's there (No surprise since I got it straight from Lucasfilm). But I think I found it on the Revenge of the Sith Poster. It's just very faint. If it's suppose to be easy to see, then I might have a counterfeit.

My ROTS one is very faint as well and I got it from starwars.com

They aren't designed to be easy to spot, on single-sided versions they are easy, but on double-sided, they aren't even noticeable unless you know how to look for it and where to look. Most dealers and even collectors don't even know its on the poster, so yes it does appear faded unless you shine some light on it. On the Sith final its around Padme's head/hair on the back of the poster.

I found it! It was exactly where you said it would be. My room lights showed where it was. Glad to have an authentic poster and all is not lost after 10 years of having it, haha! As always, you are the movie poster guru to go to for any poster information. Thanks again!

No problem, glad it's there. Every poster dealer should know about things like that, surprised most don't, but then again most collectors' don't seem to know about it either, so its a nice surprise when they realize at least they have a way of telling if that particular poster is real or not. Wish they did something like that on ALL posters, but studios don't.

K5 doesn't at this time. Mondo released some prints today or yesterday, I think they will have more.

Don't forget the limited edition cans of Barbarol shaving cream with Jurassic World on them illustrated by Mark Englert. Two different cans, they can be found at Walmart until July 1st for only about $1.25 a can.

Congrats. I watched it go up and added it only to have it boot it out like it's notorious for doing. I did score the Rich Kelly, Dan McCarthy, Todd Slater, and the DKNG from this drop and the last drop and also the dino DNA vinyl. 4/6 isn't bad.

I'd rather get my hands on the "Tomorrowland" IMAX poster. That and "Inside Out" theatrical.

Late to the party with Todd Slater art but I liked his Jurassic Park Mondo design so much I ordered his Stargate poster from his site. Can't wait to display it.

What killed my interest in this poster was the artist gave the T-rex thumbs...ruined the poster.
