Re: 2001: A Space Odyssey 40x60 McCall – Genuine 1968 Original Paper or “Just” R-1971? Need Your Expert
I guess I see the confusion. In 1971 and again in 1974, 2001 was re-released, and they re-used the plates from the 1968 Star Child poster (with less color) and as I recall one or both of those poster DOES have a 1968 copyright on the front, but has a 1971 (or 1974) NSS stamp on the back (if I remember correctly, because I am not at the office now).
However, it appears for those re-releases they solely made Star Child one-sheets and no other.
So I feel real comfortable in saying this IS a 1968 poster that was reused and stamped in 1974.
Our position at eMoviePoster.com is that, since such posters WERE printed in the original year, and solely STAMPED for a re-release, to always call them an original, but of course to note the stamp and that it was reused during that re-released.
And such stamps CAN be removed or painted over.

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
(Tharunka /Trove/ NFA)Some information regarding the early history or the Valhalla cinema in Glebe. You may find the above article that was published in the Tharunka newspaper by students of the University Of N.S.W. on 16 September 1985 of interest
A fact that I had not been aware of is that Valhalla themselves produced four films in the 1980s. The films are as follows.
Future Schlock (Submitted by Valhalla Films and classified by the Australia film censor on 01 July 1984 on 16mm
Channel Chaos (Submitted by Valhalla Holdings and classified by the Australian film censor on 01 November 1985 on 35mm..
The Big Hurt (Submitted by Valhalla Holdings and classified by the Australian film censor on 01 October 1986 on 35mm.
As Time Goes By (Submitted by Valhalla Holdings and classified by the Australian film censor on 01 February 1988 on 35mm.
A rare Australian printed film poster for Future Schlock , and an Australian Videotape image to give an idea about the film's content.

I'm no expert, but i have a To Catch a Thief LC that has the original dates but also a 1963 re-issue stamped on it. I consider it an original with a re-issue stamp but am likewise keen to hear Bruce's thoughts.

2001: A Space Odyssey 40x60 McCall – Genuine 1968 Original Paper or “Just” R-1971? Need Your Expert
Hey everyone,
Just snagged this beautiful rolled 40x60 Robert McCall poster for 2001: A Space Odyssey at Heritage Auctions for only $450 including buyer’s premium. Total steal!
What’s interesting: Heritage originally listed it as a **1968 Original**, then changed the description to **MGM R-1971**.
On the white credit strip at the bottom you can see the printed NSS code **“68/103”** – it’s pretty faint to the naked eye, so I ran a quick Photoshop curves adjustment to make it pop. Right next to it is the red reissue stamp **“74 294”**.
After digging around, here’s what I found:
The code 68/103 matches every confirmed first-run 1968 McCall printing (including other formats). The “74 294” stamp is a standard NSS reissue mark used for the 1974 re-release. So it looks like genuine 1968 original paper that was simply reused in 1974 – a true “reused original.”
Now I’m curious what the community thinks:
Does this count as a **1968 Original with reissue stamp** in your book, or is it still just an R-1971? Has anyone seen similar cases with other titles?
Would love your opinions and especially photos of comparable copies!
Thanks in advance!

Monster & Spacemen raid
Here are my trophies from yesterday’s raid at the Heritage Auction “Monster & Spacemen.” But okay, that’s enough for now — I’m totally stuffed! Now I’ve got to figure out how to properly archive all this stuff the right way.
Do you guys like them?
