You will love this particular Portal.  I have a minty one framed and enjoy 
seeing it every day as there is no way in hell I could ever afford the real one 
sheet.  I purchased it on Ebay about 6 years ago and actually had to fight a 
bit to get it.  It's the only repro I own, as it is IMHO one of the top 5 
poster designs in history.  And yes the printing is pretty great certainly 
better than the smaller versions on Moviegoods.
