Important Added Info: Note that this first release 1948 insert has a completely different image from the one-sheet, and many collectors feel it is clearly superior! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. However, the folds have not diminished from laying flat, so the poster could also be sent re-folded in a flat package. We will send it either way, depending on what the buyer wants, and whether they have rolled or folded items to combine it with. Condition: good. The poster has slight surface paper loss in the top horizontal fold. It has five areas in the left border, three in the right border, and one in the top border where someone once made tape repairs, and the tape has darkened considerably (see our image). There is also pencil writing in the background to the right of Lugosi's cheek, and there is one fine pencil mark that goes over his cheek and into the bottom of his nose. There are some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the poster, with some creases and a few tiny tears around the edges. Obviously, this very desirable poster can be professionally restored, but bear in minds its defects and look at our super-sized image before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
