Tomb Raider 1996 Original UK Game Store Promo Poster! Holy Grail

  

I'm currently in-between work contracts and must unfortunately part with some of my vintage video game promotional posters, in order to construct a financial bridge to keep those bills paid. Thank you so much for stopping by, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require some additional item photos! Item: In-Store Video Game Promotional Poster.

Platforms: Playstation, Sega Saturn, PC. Size: 16" x 20" (40.6 x 50.8 cm). These are promotional posters that were printed in extremely limited quantities by developers and issued to select game stores for display, in order to promote their respective game releases. These were never issued to the general public, and many are EXTREMELY RARE and can be VERY DIFFICULT to find.. The first edition Tomb Raider promotional items were issued in the UK, where Core Design (now defunct) was located, who also created the concept of Lara Croft and developed the series. This is the HOLY GRAIL of all Tomb Raider promotional posters!

There is absolutely zero information about it, and internet history harbors only one search hit... There are only two possible explanations as to why this poster exists: 1 It was an extremely limited production, and this is the only surviving copy, or 2 this was an artist's proof that was submitted to the company for their use of its imagery in magazine advertisements (as this image does appear in several of the older magazines and comic books). After years of research and inquiring the opinions of subject matter experts, I can safely determine that this may be the ONLY one of its kind; this is why it also demands the higher asking price. Please don't miss out on this one, because it's when gone, that's it. Would be "Mint Minus", except for a couple of faint stress wrinkles and a very small tear by the top left corner.

All items will be FULLY insured, at no additional cost. This item is in the category "Video Games & Consoles\Video Game Merchandise". The seller is "derrique" and is located in this country: US.
