Important Added Info: Note that this Japanese two-panel poster was printed in 2 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures 20" x 59". Condition: very good. Note that there were tears in the top of the bottom panel, with paper loss in the center and far right of that border. The paper loss in the center is a triangular shape and the bulk of it is in the blank white area that goes under the top half of the poster, but a 1 1/2" area is in the background of the bottom section, and a similar situation exists in the paper loss at the far right of the top border of the bottom section. In both cases, someone taped a piece of paper to the back of the poster, and then colored in the front to somewhat match the actual background (it is not a close match, but it is solely in the background area, and is not particular distracting). There is a tape stain in the left edge of the top border of the bottom section and a tiny area of paper loss and a few tiny tears in the blank white area at the top of the bottom section (the part that goes under the top section). OTHER THAN THE DEFECTS IN THAT AREA OF THE BOTTOM SECTION, BOTH SECTIONS ARE IN PRETTY NICE CONDITION! Certainly, the two small areas of paper loss represent a tiny percentage of the overall poster, and they are solely in the background near the center of the poster. I would think that any collector will not be bothered by these defects (before or after linenbacking), and the poster will look great framed on anyone's wall! Learn More about condition grades
