Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. There is scuffing in the bottom left of the "O" of "SOS" in the title and some small stains and scuffs in the bottom of the card (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
