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. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had many pinholes, smudges, and stains scattered throughout, with pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges.
