We have only previously auctioned a pressbook, a few lobby cards and stills, and a glass slide from this movie (and NO other U.S. movie paper) until we received this window card! Also 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had nail holes and stains around the edges, with damage in the center of the card, affecting Young's face and part of Boyer's. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. A really talented restorer did an excellent job making the card presentable, but you can see some signs of the restoration, especially when you look at it close up. Learn More about condition grades
