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: very good. The card has a 3" tear in the center of the top border that was repaired with tape from the back. There are some smaller tears and tiny paper loss in the borders, and a nail hole in the bottom center. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
