Seller's Description
ORIGINAL HORROR / SCI-FI / FANTASY MOVIE MEMORABILIA
The best site for rare, authentic horror movie memorabilia, including Universal, Hammer Horror, Amicus etc. original UK Quads, pressbooks, Front of House cards, autographs and more.
Original, Vintage Front of House Cards
All items offered are genuine release (usually 1st), old, cinema movie items and so had a 'life' before sale, so unlikely ever to be mint.
Note on images: I am no professional photographer and light sources and reflections may appear on the image that are errors and clearly not on the originals
This item: A PRIME COLLECTABLE An exceedingly rare offering being an original release set of 8 Front of House cards for this top collectable title. I say cards, but they are, in fact, glossy photographs, with a Wicker Man printed title / info strip glued to the bottom of each photograph. Allan Brown's excellent book on the The Wicker Man details its very poor and shoddy release often via 'fleapits' (Brown's word) so little attention was given to promotional materials. When it went out as the lower half of a double-bill with Don't Look Now the full Don't Look Now Quad has a sticker to the bottom for The Wicker Man (exactly the same style as this Front of House set) and even the full Quad for the movie was a simple photo of the wicker giant (another very rare Quad). Such pieces are genuinely rare and very seldom offered. At the time of listing no major UK memorabilia dealer, nor internet site had this set on offer. Rare
Stars: Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt and Christopher Lee as Lord Summerisle.
Size: 8.00 x 10.00 inches approx. (one exception - see below)
Condition: (Range from Fine – Very Good – Good – Poor with ++ to - - for further differentiation) : Fine - / Very Good ++ -: no pin-holes; very good corners and edges with minimal wear; one card / photo (Lee in front of The Wicker Man) has a professional trim so is 7.25 x 10.00 inches approx. - I have had 2 sets in my entire collecting decades and the other set had exactly the same trim to the same image, why this is I really don't know but simply offer up this information; overall, very good. (see photos for further detail; feel free to ask for specific detail.)
POST & PACKAGING: all items are securely packaged, for as a collector myself I appreciated the need for secure packaging and all materials used are new. Posting / shipping depends on the item value and under £10.00 1st class post will be used; for items over this amount a tracked system will be used for both UK and international postings / shipping.
