UPDATED 12/06/2019: Note that this poster is from a 1940s re-release and not the 1934 first release as we originally mentioned. Condition: good to very good. The poster had separation on both folds and someone put tape on the back of most of both folds. There was some surface paper loss on the front of the horizontal fold, and someone colored in the surface paper loss in the solid green areas, so it would be less noticeable. There were also tiny creases along both of the folds, with a 1 1/4" vertical tear in Cagney's mouth, and two 1" vertical tears in O'Brien's chin, and someone put tape on the back of those three tears. There are also some pieces of tape on the back of border tears. In spite of these defects, and slight restoration, the poster displays pretty well just as it is, or certainly, restoration could be performed. Learn More about condition grades
