I just Bought It Now for the heck of it. I've never seen the Portal
version, maybe it will be better quality than the repro that Moviegoods
and others routinely sell for $20. I note that the seller really didn't
claim it was an original just that it was a "vintage poster". This has
become a common descriptive ploy used by all those selling poster
prints. In this case, however, he actually did state it was a "later
issue" even if he did neglect to mention the less-than-27x41 size and
the presence of the Portal credit line at the bottom of the poster.
Heck, if you think about it, the Portal releases sort of do qualify as
"vintage" posters at this point -- they are now pushing 35 years old!
It will be interesting to see what it really looks like.
