Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. There is much water staining on the back of the card and faint water staining scattered in the front of the card, but it mostly only shows in the top and bottom blank areas. There are creases across the top of the card and there is paper loss in the top right corner. In spite of the water staining, the card displays pretty well just as it is, and would likely be a fairly easy restoration job for a talented professional. Learn More about condition grades
