Star Wars Atari poster value?

[RayB]

What do you guys reckon this wall poster would be worth?

[RayB]

Hmm, I found someone selling a Mint condition one for $250...

[ChadTower]

What size?  I doubt it would get anywhere near $250 unless it's huge, but you'll get something good for it.  I'd love to have that myself.

It depends on the condition. If it was NOS, I would say it would definitely go for $250. I was looking into getting a NOS Krull poster on ebay, and then the price went nuts. The guy had a bunch of NOS posters for sale. Here is a short list of what some went for...

Journey ($306.11).
Joust ($359.00)
MACH 3 ($83.00)
Pengo ($169.50)
Mad Planets ($177.50)
TRON ($406.11)
Cliff Hanger ($39.50)
Caveman ($41.00)
Tempest ($233.50)
Krull ($170.50)
Dig Dug ($233.50)

Well, then... don't listen to me.      His numbers are a great sign for you.

Ya, I couldn't believe it. I really wanted that Krull because the poster is the exact same as the side art, and I figured it would be a good source to get some reproduced for my Krull cab. I wanted to puke about 3 days into the auction. A few of the nuts on the KLOV forums dropped some of the bigger bucks for some of those.

Star Wars being as collectible as it is, I would imagine a NOS poster would be up there in the $350+ range of the Joust and Tron posters. I would imagine a signicant price drop if they weren't NOS, though.

You gots the hard drive, go print it off silly.

[ChadTower]

The poster is on there?  I don't have my drive yet, haven't gotten around to buying one.  If it's on there, score.

FYI, I believe someone on RGVAC is suppose to be reproing some of these soon.  I'm not sure which one and I think he said roughly $30.  I don't visit RGVAC enough someone gets word I'd love to know.

[horseboy]

I saw the same thing posted over at KLOV. I believe 2 different people are going to be doing repros of some different ones.

To answer your question, it's 20"x30"

I can understand NOS ones selling for what they do. These posters were sent to operators and hung in arcades. They weren't marketed to the general public (though if you contacted Atari directly, they did sell them, along with collector pins).
