size but these
measurements are not always precise. The exact width
of a
Reproduction poster ranges from 25.75" to 27", and the exact
height varies
from 36" to 40". Most difficult in authenticating.
These are
special "3-D" posters. They are normally 27" x 40" in size and
have a hard
plastic cover. When you view the posters from different angles,
you see 2
completely different images in the poster.

each release
date. Examples of this are "Gone with the Wind" and "Star Wars"
