We have only auctioned a single window card from this movie until we received this one-sheet (and that window card was auctioned 18 years ago)! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tears and areas of paper loss along the horizontal folds, including in the cheek and upper lip of Raft's image at top right. There were pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges, with paper loss at the middle crossfold and multiple pinholes around it. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. A really excellent restorer expertly backed the poster and performed restoration to the above defects. The poster displays really well, and surely very few people would realize the extent of the restoration this incredibly rare poster has had, even when looking at it close up. I would think it might be graded much higher in a different auction that does not have an expert grading the posters! Learn More about condition grades
