This is the rarest piece of merchandise of anything pertaining to Oliver & Company: A 16mm copy of the original 1988 release print.

How do I know it's the original 1988 release print? Well, have a look at a photo of the Walt Disney Pictures logo the seller sent me (it has a darker blue background):

It's the 1985 variation. When this film was re-released in 1996, the opening/closing logos were replaced with the 1990 ones. The 1990 logo doesn't have the semi-circle going all the way like the one for the 1985 variation did.

And this, just as a reminder, is the 1990 variation:

As for whether or not I'm actually gonna get this item, I wish I could, I really do. But I can't. Sorry.
