Yesterday I was wandering in the city and thought I’d go to an antique shop which specializes in pop antiques, americana, and all kinds of cool stuff - it’s probably the coolest shop I know but the prices are out there. Anyways, I went to see if they had anything new since I hadn’t been there for awhile. I stumbled on 35 mm film cases, there were probably only 20 of them. I thought “wouldn’t it be crazy if there was SW here… LOL” and skimmed them through. There was a couple from Telefon, a few with no titles, some 007 ripoff movie, and actually one from Close Encounters, and…

I almost jumped in the air and immediately asked who much the cases were. He made a call to the owner and SW was the most expensive of these, I made an offer and we made a deal. The guy said there were few others from SW but this was the last one, maybe they had all six? He didn’t seem to know any extra info on it, I might go back and ask the owner where they got these.

And yes, the case is empty. But still, this is probably my coolest find ever. There probably wasn’t many copies of the film floating around back then in my country, if there even was except this one. To think that this case contained the film when it first to came here is just cool. 😃
