Hi guys, I recently was looking on eBay, and I found a 35mm print of A New Hope for sale. One thing I would like to mention is that the seller specified that this print is a version with the addition of the title “Episode IV, A New Hope”, but it doesn’t specify if it is a print that is the 1981 version or the 1997 Special Edition version. Here is the link if you want to check it out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/314164614181?hash=item4925ab9425:g:GK4AAOSwq~JjMzU7&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Kq%2Fz%2BRbr6ZcKp1lRCSYeIV8W76y3VXsD1ZTLmdfNMTxDLJkb3HlpeU8WEx5MNyQ8IhVgmxWkz%2Fj559in1xbhj%2FUqJmJv2ux3r599Pn3OdlnTpMxHu0LDHvjqX%2FcRS2iH8nZBOdqHTMKEhJOVip2RbNQOj88NyZ842Ljt6Y1Z9mTt5l1MAWjJiSfh7EGN9rUp2NoXtpxGse66E6gsEiGL6byaqnMkIays9xsgwJ1K%2BjyGFzJxU9bEcIBvUeqVtHZOW4j8J0RAjHhMsZeRcy%2BkfDwMI2Ywcw4tGP%2BJyX2TkIj|tkp%3ABk9SR6SZztPYYg

For $4,500, and the damage that is on the preview photos, it’s not worth it.

There have already been upwards of 10 prints scanned anyway, so while there’s no harm in getting another, for that price, it’s not worth it.

Yeah, ok. Good point. Like you said, there are multiple prints out there that have been restored and posted online, such as Team Negative 1’s 4K77 Project. I didn’t know that there was damage on the print when I looked at the pictures. Thanks for your reply.

This print has been up there for months and months at this point.
I wonder what a typical price for a U.S. SE print is.

Yeah, that’s a question that I think about sometimes, too. My guess would be about $500 to $1,000 maybe, since the original print is more valuable than the Special Edition print.
