Italian Star Wars Posters - First Editions - Help

[Eggman]

Hello, my friends and neighbors. This is a little OT, but was hoping your collective wisdom would help me out. I thought you might enjoy seeing them as well as I'm sure there are alot of Star Wars fans on the boards.

 

I purchased these posters at an Italian market in Italy as a young kid somewhere around 1982. I believe they are first editions (see closeup stating "Prima Edition"). I have held onto these and not mounted or displayed them ever. I can't find any information on them. Can any collector provide some info on them as well as what they are going for? Thanks so much, all.

at first blush (*I do not collect posters* ) I would guess a couple hun each retail.

 

check the heritage auctions movie posters completed auctions.

 

There are some international SW posters there which sold IIRC in the 100-300 range

I believe those are called Italian locandinas (they should measure 13"x28", correct?)...

 

here's the same Star Wars ep4 locandina listed at an International poster site, priced at 150.00€ , so figure in that ballbark that for yours, and probably around same for the ESB

This is probably the most interesting Italian variant poster, It is pretty sought after, being a unique image for the Italian market (don't ya love the tan Luke?)

Cool! Foreign edition posters are not something I know a lot about, but the community here tends to be very knowledgeable on them. I linked you to the appropriate section to post your question.
