« on: February 02, 2025, 12:44:39 PM »
These test posters are all the all larger size 9 1/2" x 18 1/2", and all pretty tough to find. 

Although not as sought after as their Toadal, Cheapios and Weakies  counterparts,
these examples are just as rare

Glutton - small hole upper left, slight separation upper fold
Blast Blew Ribbon - slight separation middle left fold
Hawaiin Punks - slight seperation dead center
Gadzooka - slight seperation upper fold, upper right corner damage
STD - lower right corner damage
Log Cave In - speration bottom right fold, small hole center right fold

$50/ea  Add $7.50 shipping no matter how many you buy

Paypal Friends + Fam or Zelle

Message me for more scans if you neeed them

Thanks,
Jim

So cool to see that collectors are still trying to get this ellusive set.  I almost didn't bother posting about the height difference when I noticed it years ago, but it became the only way to identify yellow-pack posters from the blue ones.  I finally built a complete set myself back then (having to open a few yellow packs, sadly).  So, it would be interesting to know how many complete large yellow-pack poster sets exist.  Do you know off hand what the count is?

The bigger size of  9 1/2" x 18 1/2".  The 1974 regular issue posters are about 1/4" to 1/2" less in size in both height and width.
