Vintage Raiders poster, is it real?

[Dagobah Don]

I recently bought a vintage Raiders poster (1982 re release version) and it has all the earmarks -- folded, aged, the correct GAU demarcation at the bottom...

I was wondering about the paper density though, as it seems much thinner than modern posters. Could it possibly be a fake?

I collect vintage daybill posters ( one of which is an original raiders poster ) and I can say they're are all on very thin paper.

Back in the day these were printed on the cheapest paper sent out to cinemas and then disposed of. I remember that my ALIEN daybill felt like it was printed on rice paper!

I concur. My original "Excalibur" poster from 1981 is on very thin paper.

Thanks everyone I'm also gotten confirmation from my framer that this is true. All good!
