Comparable sales and price context
- Current estimated value.
- $150 after internet comparable review on July 30, 2026.
- Direct poster comps were thin.
- Public reference sources tied the title to Hi-Tops Video and Malcolm-Jamal Warner, with the poster itself showing a $12.95 suggested retail callout.
- Because exact public poster comps were not readily available, the ask is based on scarce specialty video-store display format, actual-item provenance.
- educational/celebrity niche appeal, and visible folded condition.
- This is not an appraisal.
- Owner adjustment on July 30, 2026 increased the selling ask by $25 from the initial researched price.
