The gallery posted that they would only be selling certain ones spread out over a while I believe, the first one they will release online is the Englert one. you may want to contact Gallery 1988 for more detailed information though.

Anything 20th Century Fox is generally difficult for dealers to get, which forces people to go the eBay route, which are mainly the ones shipped to theaters and then taken by theater employees or people that know them and generally those posters aren't mint. Generally Fox posters are more expensive right out of the gate because so few get out there in near-mint/mint condition. Not sure which style for DOFP you were referring to, right now there are only two teaser advance styles (Magneto character face and Professor X character face). I don't believe the final style is out yet but could be any day now since the film opens up in about a month.

MoviePoster.com has the character teasers for $75 each or damaged ones for cheaper. I have them cheaper than that if you need them, just PM me. The final style I have not yet seen out there yet.

Ebay has a couple up already.

Are the ones you are seeing that up on eBay the same image....art-wise they could be but check out the wording on the poster....are the sellers on eBay using "stock" images or are they taking a photo of the poster? The reason I ask is because this appears to not be a "final" style as it just says "Coming Soon" and I don't believe this particular image was used as a third "teaser" advance style. The final style should have full credits at the bottom.

I still have a Toy Story 3 poster from them brand new in the tube and it's selling for $65 now i could never put that in a cheap $20 walmart frame lol

It really doesn't matter if they are "good" as you stated, its all about supply and demand and from a poster dealer's stand point, very few dealers were able to get the teaser styles so not many of them are out there. Remember theaters generally get their posters in damaged, not always, but a lot of the times due to them being poorly packed by the distribution hubs for studios, they often suffer damage on the sides which is commonly referred to as "edge wear". When you see that term being used by a dealer, or by a private seller, chances are they came from a theater. Those dealers with good contacts generally get posters in packaged up in quantity without any damage to them so actual "mint" condition posters for pretty much all films can be very difficult to obtain. MoviePoster.com had their teasers originally priced around $80+ each, they must have lowered their price a little down to $74.99 each. I have been charging $45 for each style and they sell quite well as a collector can get a set of two for a little more than what they charge for one poster.

More than likely someone who simply works at a theater or knows someone who does, the "scuff mark on edges" comment kind of gives it away.

Also this could be a Real 3D style, I know that there are times when studios issue posters for Real 3D theaters, I have a Monsters vs. Aliens style that was one of them, had a big pair of Real 3D glasses on it with the characters, 27x40, double-sided, etc. More than likely IF this style isn't the final version, the artwork will be on it and the credits will be added at the bottom.

Well it appears to be authentic, but it just doesn't seem like the actual "final" style poster, but as I mentioned in my last post it could be a Real 3D exclusive style. Perhaps you can contact the eBay seller, ask him to look at the back of the poster, and verify if it is a "lighter" shade on the back than on the front. Originals should be as the majority of double-sided originals being printed nowadays by studios have a lighter backside, still double-sided, but the back isn't as "vibrant" as the front.

If you can check the one at your theater and see if it has the full credits on it, report back here. Just curious if FOX is going with a credit-final or is the one mentioned above the final without credits. Odd if they don't have credits....

I do not remember seeing full credits on it, though I may be wrong. I'll try and find out.

I just recieved both of these today it almost prestine condition. Just a very small and slight indentation on the end of one. Sorry I havent flattened them out yet so here are just the images off the net.

I like those a lot... especially the first one, though the second one would probably look better in a light box... did those pop up on DMR?

I already have an ISO up on Expresso Beans, but if anyone has a line on the Joshua Budich print "The Owls Are Not What They Seem", please drop me a line to point me in the right direction. Thanks.

That Spider-Man 3 style was the teaser advance, it caused a lot of confusion with collectors because there are literally multiple styles of that poster out there. There were U.S. and International versions, some had the black-suited Spider-Man on the opposite side, others had a slight variation on that tag line "The Battle Within". There was also a style that featured one side of the front of the poster as glossy, and the other side had rain drops as a matte finish, it was really nicely done.

I believe I have the domestic style in stock, double-sided, but isn't the glossy/matte version mentioned above. Double-sided originals exist for certain, whomever you saw selling the one mentioned probably only has single-sided. There was that all black-suited Spider-Man 3 poster in the rain that was only printed single-sided, someone posted an image a few weeks back I believe and I responded to it and the particulars around that poster.
