Why this exact Hairspray piece matters

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

Actual item

Hairspray is cataloged as a home-video promo connected to New Line Cinema.

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:

  • John Waters Hairspray video-release poster with printed critic quotes, New Line Cinema markings, VHS/Beta details.
  • and the retail line “Available At Video Salons Everywhere This August.”.

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 folds, edge/corner wear, light waviness, surface reflections, and small handling marks are present.
  • 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

  • Current estimated value.
  • $150.
  • Internet research found limited exact Hairspray video-release poster availability, with broader John Waters and Hairspray poster comps varying by format and condition.
  • The ask reflects cult-title demand, New Line video-store campaign language, actual-item photography, Discount Video provenance, and photo-reviewed folded condition.

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