Collectible Poster (22" x 28"); 1650/2000 Autographed by Ray Bolger and Jack Haley
Fine- Rolled
Nostalgia Merchants, 1977

This wonderful poster was produced by Nostalgia Merchants in the mid-1970s and is limited to 2000 prints. Ray Bolger and Jack Haley signed it. Nostalgia Merchants produced a wide range of these posters from celebrities such as Johnny Weismuller in Tarzan, Shirley Temple, Roy Rogers, and BUster Crabbe.

The poster has scuffs and abrasions along the left and right sides.

MGM produced this musical fantasy film at an estimated expense of $2,700,000 in 1939 depression era dollars but only earned the studio just over $3 million in return despite positive reviews. A small return in the day. The 1956 television revival, which would become an annual tradition, has made this film one of the most loved and remembered in history. Starring a 16-year-old Judy Garland and a brilliant supporting cast, the film is one of the most collected titles in the poster hobby.
