The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and paper loss in three blank corners, caused by rough removal of pins. There were some small tears in the borders and some minor wear on the foldlines. There was a diagonal crease just above the left half of the bottom foldline and some diagonal crease to the left and right of the top and bottom quarters of the vertical foldline. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
