It's not clear from the description, but these are big (16x20) poster-sized things that would be a nice addition to a collector's wall. I have two from the sixties with the I've Got a Secret cast on them. At a buy-it-now price of $66 (including shipping), somebody's going to want this. Maybe you?

I've been wanting to start collecting movie posters and other quirky odds and ends to hang up in my apartment. As much as I'd love to have that poster (makes for a nice conversation piece), I'm afraid $66 is a little too steep for my budget this week.
Bummer.

Here's a fascinating collection of them, but you have to click each one individually to see it. At the beginning of the page and again at the end, there are some interesting details about what they are and how rare they are. Prices at this site are even higher than the one on Ebay, but this site's been up a long time and I don't think he's selling many at the prices he charges.
There are some oddities, though. The one he has of Bill Cullen, for example, is not a cover portrait (despite his best guesses).
