See the thing I hate that its been folded, which is shite. You could send it away to a poster restoration place but ive never done it and I imagine its expensive to get it backed and fixed.

There is a UK quad sized one coming up on the Prop Store auction
Estimate is £2-300.
If it goes for £300, you'll have about another £90 on top, so a little cheaper than the eBay one (but no means cheap)
If no one goes for it and the opening bid gets it, it'll be £130 with on costs.

Wanting this very much but need to strike it lucky for that money. Maybe I’ll get a knock off, but it’s not the same.

A friend of mine’s father worked on the sound editing on Alien 1979 and there was an original Geiger artwork in their house which must have been a very early version of the poster. I remember it vividly - it was the egg like on the actual poster, but had a Xenomorph hand wrapped around it. I don’t think I ever discussed it with my friend or his dad but it was/is so unimaginably cool and desirable. I’ll find out where it is one day - I’d just love to see it again.
