"Spock is Dead?" Lincoln Ent. Retail Poster (1982)

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan-era "Spock is Dead?" retail poster from Lincoln Enterprises. Be sure to click the image above for a hi-resolution version!

Size: Various (see Notes)
Photographer/Designer: Unknown
Release Year: 1982
Notes: 

• Although this poster was first sold as a Wrath of Khan tie-in, the photo of Spock is clearly from The Motion Picture.
  
• Greenberg's lists two versions of this poster. The first is described as "Lincoln Enterprises #P2170, 1987. Photo close-up of Spock facing left with eyes in light, background in deep shadow. 24" x 36"." Indeed this poster does appear in the 1987 Lincoln catalog, sans text (see below; click to enlarge).

• The second Greenberg's listing reads: "Intergalactic, distributor, 1987. 'Spock Is Dead?' poster. Same close-up photo as Lincoln #P2170 with addition of small tear in Spock’s eye and small lettering in lower right. 24" x 36"." Presumably, "Intergalactic" here refers to Intergalactic Trading Company, a distributor of sci-fi collectibles.
• A few issues with this description: 1) Although it does appear in some form in the 1987 Lincoln catalog, the copyright date on this poster is 1982. 2) The tear is not a new addition with this version — in fact, as we can see in the catalog scan above, Lincoln titled their text-free poster "The Tear." 3) Image source gives dimensions as 22.25" x 34", not 24" x 36". Is there a third version of this poster?
• The Official Price Guide lists this poster simply as "Spock is dead? Star Trek II poster, Lincoln Enterprises."

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Lincoln Ent. Retail Poster (1986)

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home retail poster from Lincoln Enterprises.

Size: Various (see Notes)
Artist/Illustrator: Cheryl Freundt
Release Year: 1986
Notes:

• Greenberg’s describes “Artist Cheryl Freundt’s blue-wash art of San Francisco Bay’s Golden Gate Bridge” with “portraits of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura from upper left to lower right-hand corner” and lists this as a “pre-production promo poster.” (I doubt this is pre-production art, since the characters are in their final movie costumes; Sulu, in particular, is illustrated in a pose and expression directly referencing a scene in the finished movie. Perhaps “pre-release” poster would be more accurate.)
• Greenberg’s lists this in three sizes: 18" x 24" (original retail release); 18" x 28" for a second retail release in 1990; and 22" x 28" for a third release, also in 1990.
• The original art for this poster (see below) was sold at a 2011 auction, where it was described as: “Ca. 1986 chalk pastel on 19" x 24" illustration paper by Cheryl Freundt for a Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home commemorative poster issued to its fan base by Lincoln Enterprises.”
