Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this jumbo window card, and it was only in "fair" condition! Also note that this jumbo window card is printed on a heavy paper stock, similar to that of regular window cards of this period. It could not possibly be rolled, and it must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30", so bear this added expense in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good to very good. The card has darkened somewhat and it is somewhat uneven, because something caused only a large part of the top blank area and the 3" directly below it to be exposed to whatever caused the darkening, whereas the rest of the poster was not exposed. You can look at our super-sized image and pretty clearly see what was darkened and what was not. There are some small faint stains and dot stains in the rest of the poster. There are some tiny nail holes around the edges. I would think many collectors could display and enjoy this card as it is, or certainly restoration can be performed. Please bear all of the above in mind before bidding on this card. Learn More about condition grades
