This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had creases and scuffs on both foldlines and pinholes, creases, smudges, and small tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. After it was backed, someone rolled it fairly tightly with the image inward (which they should not have done with a paperbacked poster), and that caused additional faint creases scattered throughout the poster. However, the poster still displays pretty well from any reasonable viewing distance. Please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster.
