When I went guy behind the counter said I needed to pay $15 bucks for it. I did because I really wanted it. Was talking with owner down the road..he said he didn't know about the $15 and gave it back to me. I was alreay a good customer but from then on even if Sam Goody's had it first I waited and bought from his shop...
You did not even need to ask a shop owner for it back in the day. Each poster was sold rolled up as a tube, and covered in clear plastic. When you unrolled your prized poster, this multi-player insert poster would magically fall out. The Insert posters were included inside every SI poster sold.
