Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this mini window card! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? 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.
UPDATED 07/21/2022: Note that we have added more information to the Condition Description (the Condition Grade is unchanged). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, all the borders were trimmed off, including the bottom. It also had some smudges, scuffs, and creases scattered in the image. Someone paperbacked the card and replaced the missing borders, and painted in the missing text from the bottom (but they used MCMXXXVII [1937] instead of the original MCMXL [1940]) and performed restoration within the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The card displays pretty well, but you can see signs of the restoration and the border replacement. Learn More about condition grades
