REPTILICUS Benton window card 1961 original vintage NICE

Description: Original from 1961. Have had this and several other titles since 1998; I do have some duplicates. All have been stored in an air conditioned environment the whole time and I will be adding more for sale.Adult nerd owned from a pet and smoke-free home. Will be securely packed and shipped. Thanks for looking! ORIGINALSBenton Card Company originals were printed on thick heavy card stock, and the backside is shaded gray. An original will carry the tag "Benton Card Company" usually centered across the bottom of the window card. These were made available to theater managers through the press kits just like the NSS counterpart.OLDER REPRINTSOver the years Benton Card Company would reissue some of their window cards. These reissues were printed on the same heavy card stock as the originals, utilizing the same printing plates. The "Older" reprints are distinguished from their original counterparts by a handwritten notation somewhere on the bottom of the card. This notation contains a year, a slash (I) and a stock number (i.e., 1949/844). The "Benton Card Company" tag is found on some early reprints, but not all. These reprints look so much like the originals that some of these reprints were mistakenly sold as originals.NEWER REPRINTSIn the 1980's, when paper companies quit manufacturing the older, thicker card stock, Benton began reprinting their window cards on a newer, thinner, glossier card stock. These newer, more colorful reprints carry the letter "R" on the lower border along with the stock number. The year and slash were eliminated.These newer 'reprints' are available for dealers to buy at any time, actually placing them in a different category. They are NOT being made for the re-distribution of the film but are printed whenever needed moving them to the reproduction category and out of the collectible catagory. See difference between collectible and commercial.The Benton Card Company is still active in printing window cards for music and other entertainment events and still sells the newer movie reprints.
