Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good. The poster has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture. It has scuff marks scattered in various areas and several edge defects and there are two areas of paper loss at upper right. It has tape on back of the upper and lower edges and there is some surface paper loss across the front of the lower edge. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
