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. The window card had been roughly folded across the middle and there were creases and/or tears along that fold with a 5" semi-circular tear in the right center of the card. There were creases, tears, pinholes, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the card with a few scattered in the image. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
