This has been owned by one owner since date of purchase back in 1999/2000 time frame (bought from a mall memorabilia store) and as shown flat on cardboard so can only assume based on the size being smaller than 27x40 that its a reprint and I would "assume" as an authorized version too. This was never removed from the baggy either or hung for that matter. It has been stored away until today. Due to the fact that something this large can not be safely shipped as is, without spending a lot on shipping anyway, this will need to be rolled (carefully as possible obviously) and put inside a cardboard tube to ensure safe delivery. What you see is what will be shipped rolled. sale Terms Free shipping applies to only the 48 contiguous states. If your outside of these states (Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico), please contact me before buying, as I will have to charge additional shipping due to the size and weight of this. Item will be sent to the name/address listed on the Paypal transaction. Seller is not responsible for shipping damage/lost. All sales are final. No return/refund/exchange.
