Important Added Info: Note that first release 1948 movie posters from this early Marilyn Monroe movie are incredibly rare (surely because it was quickly re-released once Marilyn became a star). We have never auctioned this style A half-sheet poster before, and we only auctioned the style B poster once (and that was 14 years ago!)! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a small stain in Monroe's temple, next to her hair, and it had very minor wear on the foldlines. It had creases and a pinhole in each corner. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
