The poster also had two horizontal tears that ran through the center of Wayne's face, causing small paper loss between his eyes and on one eyebrow. There were also some smudges scattered in the light colored areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. The above defects are noticeable when you view the poster from close up, but obviously, six-sheets are intended to be viewed from a distance, and from a reasonable viewing distance, this poster will display really nicely!
