Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this half-sheet! 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded and appears to have had very minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. However, after the poster was backed, it was very roughly handled, and it acquired faint water stains scattered across the top 1" of the poster, with some creases in the borders that appear to have occurred after it was backed (see our image).
