Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards.

Condition: good to very good. The poster had creases, smudges, stains, tears, pinholes, and areas of paper loss around the edges, and there were some creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered in the image (more so in the background areas). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, because you can see slight signs of the restoration of the above defects, but from a reasonable viewing distance, they are not very distracting, and the poster does not have a "restored" look.
