Hi everyone. New to the forum.

I have a promotional poster from 1999 during the release of Episode I. It is a printer's proof image of the four separate collectible posters combined as one. I believe this to be the only, if not one of the only copies in existence. I father was a graphic designer that acquired it from a printer facility that was printing these for the Taco Bell promotion.

This poster was not sold to the public in this form. You'll notice in the photo that it contains the details of the print manufacturer in the lower left corner. It's about 60 x 182 cm in full. There are no puncture marks within the boundaries of the images; only along the blank outermost edges. It is not damaged and has minor fading due to age. It was stored on the wall of my basement room, so it hasn't seen direct sunlight, nor heavy natural light since 1999.

Since this is obviously not a "production" item, I realize there isn't a precedent to base value off. However I would greatly appreciate any guidance on what value it may hold.

The regular Taco Bell poster seems to be failing to sell even at $5.99 on Ebay, sadly I don't think your being a printers proof adds significantly to the value. With the sun fading thrown in you probably ought to be happy to get $10. Sorry the news isn't better, but do get a second opinion.

I appreciate your educated insight :)

Perhaps it was wishful thinking that a poster from Episode I (ack) would fetch collectors value. Sounds like good cause to roll it up and store it in a tube to see what the future holds.

Thanks.
