The die-cut edges are crisp and well defined, with clean, undamaged corners and no major bends, creases, wrinkles, tears, or edge crushing observed.

Offered here is an original vintage 1977 Star Wars triangular decal featuring the iconic early Ralph McQuarrie concept artwork.
This distinctive triangular design is associated with the early Star Wars promotional era and was distributed through original Official Star Wars Fan Club material. The artwork features McQuarrie’s early concept imagery against the dramatic orange/red planetary background, with the classic STAR WARS logo across the bottom.
This is an original period piece — not a modern reproduction.
The bottom manufacturer/copyright line is present and identifies:
FACTORS ETC., INC., BEAR, DEL. U.S.A. / IMAGE FACTORY INC., HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. / PRINTED IN U.S.A. / © 1977 TWENTIETH CENTURY-FOX FILM CORP.
The reverse retains its original brown release paper with the repeating diagonal MACbak markings.
The decal has never been applied and remains fully attached to its original backing.
One of the strongest features of this example is the condition of the original cut. The triangular die-cut edges remain crisp and sharply defined, with clean, undamaged corners and no obvious edge crushing, folding, or distortion. The overall shape has remained remarkably clean for a nearly 50-year-old paper collectible.
The decal has been kept/displayed in a protective frame. It was removed from the frame specifically for these photographs so buyers can clearly inspect the true condition of the front, back, edges, corners, and original MACbak backing without glass glare or the frame hiding any portion of the item.
The frame is NOT included in the sale.
