Collector dossier - campaign history

Why this exact Distant Thunder piece matters

This page is about the actual archive item, not a stock poster image.

Actual item

Distant Thunder is cataloged as a home-video promo connected to Paramount Home Video.

The page uses the uploaded front photograph and detail crops from that same item.

Campaign role

Many pieces in this archive were made for the 1980s home-video and rental-store economy.

Recorded print details:

Paramount home-video promotional poster for Distant Thunder, featuring John Lithgow and Ralph Macchio.

Provenance

Private Discount Video archive, retained from the store for approximately 40 years.

That history does not replace in-hand inspection, but it gives the listing a stronger starting point than anonymous marketplace copy.

Condition

Grade: good

Visible notes:

  • Photo-reviewed only.
  • visible fold lines, surface glare/reflection, light waviness, edge/corner wear, and handling marks may be present.
  • The August 1, 2026 catalog image has been perspective-corrected, rotated upright, and cropped inside the collectible edge so surrounding table is not shown.
  • No restoration, backing, tear, or paper-grade claim is made without an in-hand inspection.
  • Folds, glare, wrinkles, edge wear, sleeve reflections, and display marks are treated as buying facts.

Price context

  • Estimated value set at $50 after reviewing low active Distant Thunder home-video poster comps around $13 plus shipping and weighing the owner-confirmed Discount Video provenance and actual archive photography.
  • Conservative speed-to-sale pricing, not an appraisal.

The number is a selling ask, not a formal appraisal. Before checkout is enabled, the owner confirms measurements, packing, final condition language, and availability.
