    I’m not an expert on posters; this is just some observations...
    I purchased this huge LOTR poster in 1971 at a bookstore for the price of .00 as shown in the picture of the price tag. Note the number 00002-500 (ISBN?) on the tag. Pictures of all four corners are shown re. the pinholes/there is tape remnants on the back; they are not bad. Poster seems to me to be in in nice shape with as expected some minimal wear on the edges and two edge tears each about ½” long. No folds; poster has been rolled up since 1975.
    The poster description from an online page, “Ballantine asked Barbara Remington to create a cover for the 1965 paperback edition of ``The Hobbit''. Her design was the left (blue) third of the poster. Note the presence of the dragon (Smaug). She added two more sections to the original cover for ``The Hobbit'' to form the covers for the three volumes of ``Lord of the Rings''. Merging the three sections into one large painting thus formed the basis for the poster, which was issued around 1969.”
