This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had a blank top that was trimmed off, and it extended slightly into the top edge of the image. There were some creases, smudges, and tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, and the restorer replaced the missing top area of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
