SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE Extremely Rare Orig Release Issue Japan Chirashi 1978 NM+

Description: ORIGINAL RELEASE ISSUE 1978 SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE CHIRASHI MINI-POSTER The Most Difficult SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE Chirashi To find!!! ©1978 Columbia Pictures********************************************************************************* ChirashiChirashi are mini-posters, sometimes referred to as flyers or handbills, used to advertise movies in Japan. Due to the fact they are only available from theaters while the movie is showing, they are collectible movie memorabilia and rise in value based on age and scarcity. Chirashi are, in general, high quality poster prints printed on high quality paper, are usually a single sheet (front and back), usually a "B5" size or about 18cm x 26cm plus or minus. Sometimes, chirashi may be a different format, i.e., two or more sheets folded together joined by a spine. What's unique about Japanese chirashi posters is that much of the artwork is custom created for the Japanese market, with a distinctive Japanese design. The Japanese chirashi poster will often look quite different to the artwork available in other countries... in many cases the design is superior. And, some innovative released chirashi includes a fold-out and specialty prints you won't find anywhere else. Due to their handy size and low cost, they are, by far, the most popular size of posters among Japanese collectors as well as collectors of movie memorabilia worldwide.*********************************************************** This is NOT a reprint or a reproduction; This is NOT an art print or a wall print poster; This is NOT a video flyer; This is NOT one of those flyers that sellers copy over and over; [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Shipped right here in the USA in a matter of just a few days instead of possibly months from overseas sellers not to mention who knows what the package will look like when you get it. ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]This is the original issue chirashi from TOHO Cinemas in Japan that was available to movie goers when SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, ©1978 Columbia Pictures, was released in 1978.The art work originated from the United Kingdom when SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE was screened there in 1978 and subsequently used in Japan when SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE premiered on February 25, 1978.The chirashi was made available during the venue inside the theater, at the time of the initial Japanese screening several years ago, and now extremely difficult to obtain.

Subjective Appearance evaluation [NM+]　* See below Following evaluation guide by POSTERS FROM JAPAN B5 CHIRASI Our B5 Chirashi posters are almost always in Excellent or Near Mint condition. Where this is not the case, please see the listing for further details. Due to the fact that Chirashi are generally preserved in excellent condition, the grading scale is more strict than that usually employed for larger posters. Note: If you are buying chirashi for framing then you need not worry too much about our grading, as all of our posters have no significant defects that would be noticeable when framed. Our grading is, for the most part, chiefly for collectors who are fanatical about condition. Grade Description Mint Brand new, unused, flawless. *We don't grade any of our chirashi as Mint, as we only sell original and authentic theatre-used chirashi. By this very definition, they are 'used' and therefore cannot be Mint. Near Mint Our top grade. No visible flaws, but may show very minor signs of age, such as soft corners. Excellent/Near Mint Not quite "Near Mint", but close to it. Excellent No major flaws that detract from the poster, but may have some of the following: tiny or light corner crease, compression indentations from storage, possible minor tear boarder only, age discoloration. Most collectors would be happy with this grade. Very Good/Excellent No major flaws but has a number of minor imperfections. Very Good Has a visible defect such as a crease, or an accumulation of minor defects. Details of imperfections will be listed. This grade is still more than suitable for framing - but collectors that are fanatical about condition should wait for a better copy to come available. (Bear in mind that we reluctantly stock posters in this grade, and only when it is the best available.) Unacceptable Chirashi that show one or more readily visible flaws such as large creases, rips, tape marks, or hole punches. We do not sell chirashi in this grade.
