Sorry for the late follow up on this, I've just moved to a new city, and finally had a chance to pull this out of the tube today.
You can take a look at the poster for sale here:

As you can see, there is a little wear & tear -- pin holes in each corner, plus an additional small hole in the lower right corner (I don't remember that being there, damn).
There's a little bit of scuff/creasing under the "Boston -- Great Woods" text, and a little bit next to the flowers on the right border of the poster. There is what *appears* to be scuffing on the black print, most noticeable in photo #4, but this seems to rub right off. The parts of the poster that are black have an almost chalkboard-like consistency, and it really appears that these markings rub off with very little effort, though I'm not about to start scrubbing the thing right now.
If this winds up selling, this would be my first poster sale. I don't intent to get ripped off, but I also don't want to rip anybody else off, either. Any help with shipping protocol would be appreciated, too.
So now that you all can see the condition, what are your general thoughts on price? I'll keep my eye on PMs.
As for my legitimacy (will I follow through on the sale), all I can say is that I know I don't have a very high post count, but I have been on the board foreeeever...Long-time lurker, occasional poster. You'll see that many of my past posts are related to my previous career in the record industry, and I've got a fan club number of 106xxx...I'm a dependable dude, no Lance Mercer sales here
