Important Added Info: Note that we have previously been consigned another example of this poster, and that consignor told us that he got it from an employee who worked at MGM some time in the 1980s. We think this means that the poster was a studio-issued reproduction made in the 1980s to be sold directly to collectors. Please only bid on this poster if you would be happy to own a studio-issued reproduction! What IS linenbacking?
