Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the top two crossfolds and tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold. It had a 4" vertical tear at top center in the orange background to the left of the "J" of "JORDAN" and a matching one in the bottom center of the poster starting in the bottom of Jordan's foot and extending into the top of the "D" of "CALDONIA". It had some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds and some pinholes and smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
