Important Added Info: Note that this poster can't be rolled and needs to be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30". Condition: good to very good. The card had two long diagonal creases in the lower right, one running through the middle of Barrymore's shirt, and the other running through his legs. There were creases, scuffs, and surface paper loss along both of those creases. There were also small nail holes and a few tears around the edges, with faint smudges scattered in the poster, more so in the yellow background areas. Someone performed restoration to the above defects without backing the card, using tape on the back of the card. The card displays well as it is, or certainly, additional restoration could be performed. Learn More about condition grades
