Common questions
Is this the actual item?
Yes. The listing uses original archive photography, with detail views taken from the exact photographed collectible shown.
Can I buy it right now?
Yes. The Buy button goes straight to secure PayPal checkout — no account needed and no waiting on a reply. Eric confirms the exact piece before it ships.
What does shipping cost?
Shipping within the United States is $12, added at checkout. The poster is checked, packed and insured before it goes out.
Do you know the exact dimensions?
Not until it is measured in hand. Each piece is measured before it ships rather than listed from a catalogue guess, so the size you are told is the size you receive.
What if it is not as described?
Every photo is the actual piece, fold lines and wear included, so what you see is what ships. If the piece cannot be fulfilled as described, you are refunded in full.
