Mulder originally acquired his "I Want to Believe" poster from a head shop on M Street. (TXF: "Chinga") He had obtained the poster and attached it to the wall of his basement X-files office shortly prior to March 1992. This first poster consisted of a flat designed UFO above a field of trees inside of a white border that had the tag line "I WANT TO BELIEVE" written on it. (TXF: "Pilot") This poster was destroyed by a fire in the office in 1998. (TXF: "The End")
