If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and it sold for $3,323. That poster has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! It has a completely different image from all the other posters we have seen from this movie (and other posters are also quite rare)! 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded and it had minor wear on the folds. It had four tiny dot stains in Dietrich's chin and cheek in the large image of her. It had a few creases and just a few tiny tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
