Posters for 'Blade Runner'

My routine for preparing the monthly post in the series Top eBay Chess Items by Price (March 2010) always starts with preparing a short list of chess items sold in the previous month. Once in a while the same item -- or similar items -- appears twice on the short list. There is often a side story associated with this and the last time it happened was eBay Deja Vu (August 2021).

The composite image below shows two items from two different auctions. Both items were based on the title 'Blade Runner poster Laurent Durieux Variant The Final Chess Game'. For the specifics of the two auctions, see below.

Top row: Posters for 'Blade Runner' ('A Ridley Scott Film')
Bottom row: Detail from upper right poster

The item shown in the upper left was titled 'Blade Runner poster Laurent Durieux Aluminum Variant The Final Chess Game #/100'. It sold for around $450.00, 'Best offer accepted'. The description said,

The Final Chess Game - Aluminum Print by Laurent Durieux • 2mm thick aluminum panel • 24 x 36 inches • Limited edition of 100

The item shown in the upper right was titled 'Blade Runner poster Laurent Durieux Variant The Final Chess Game #/325'. It sold for around $400.00 'Best offer accepted'. Its description said,

The Final Chess Game - Variant by Laurent Durieux - Bottleneck Gallery • Screen print • 24 x 36 inches • Hand-numbered edition of 325

The descriptions for both items also included the phrase 'Please note, this item is a preorder that will ship when received. Item will ship properly in a sturdy tube with kraft paper.' You might guess from all of this that the items were offered by the same seller, but different seller names were attached to the two auctions. Both auctions also included the same info under 'Item specifics':-

Condition; New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item (including handmade items). • Year of Production; 2023

Did either of these posters have anything to do with posters for the original 1982 movie? I have no answer for that question. For a previous post in the series on 'Top eBay Chess Items' on the same topic, see More Birds from Blade Runner (March 2013).
