CLICK THIS LINK TO READ FULL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE SPECIAL POSTERS (do not bid on this poster until you have read the information on the linked page). Condition: fair to good. There is surface paper loss and tiny paper loss around the edges of the poster (more so in the corners), and the poster is "lifting" from the board in the corners. There is major scuffing in the top right corner and in the center of the title, with scattered scuffs extending in a line beneath the center of the title, down to the bottom border. There are scuff marks in the left of Oberon's forehead and a few in her eyelid. There are faint scuffs in a band running across the top of March's ear and the bottom of his hair across the entire poster. There are creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster, more so in the solid background areas, but there ARE some in the stars' faces (beyond the ones described above; study our super-sized image to see exactly what they are, but they are not very distracting). There are also some other scuffs and smudges throughout the image and some dents and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster (please study our super-sized image to clearly see the above described defects). Certainly, a talented restorer could perform restoration to this poster, after which the defects would not be very noticeable at all. Learn More about condition grades
