If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this mini window card! What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The mini window card had darkened. Someone trimmed off all four blank borders, including the top blank area. Overall, the mini window card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the mini window card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they replaced the missing blank borders, and then removed the gel backing, so that the mini window card still exactly looks and feels like an original mini window card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can tell that there has been restoration in the borders and that the card has darkened, but otherwise, it displays pretty well (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
