I think the title THE BURNING QUESTION is what is missing (from the
upper panel) and that REEFER MADNESS may
have been used as a tag on this poster. I think the poster may have
been rarer than even this result would indicate.
Nevertheless, a very good performance for what is, after all, a
fragment on ebay.
Anyone want to venture what a complete original three sheet for this
film would be worth? I think maybe $4 to $5 thousand.

Channing,
At the risk of picking nits, "Reefer Madness" was not the title
during the original release, that would be "The Burning Question"
or alternatively "Tell Your Children, The Burning Question". I
have no doubt though that this was from it's first release as
"Reefer Madness" though, as it reflects some of the artwork from a
WC Bruce sold some time ago for "The Burning Question." This would
seem to indicate it was still with its original distributor for
this release and not the fly-by-night hucksters from later in it's
life.
Congratulations to both you and the lucky bastid who won it.

In any case,
the title on the poster is REEFER MADNESS which was the original
release title and not one of several differing re-release titles.
