If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this window card, and the last example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of three examples we have ever auctioned! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except 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 this window card is from a remarkable collection of 24 Abbott & Costello window cards (in 24 separate auctions) that a VERY dedicated collector assembled over many years! He has now consigned them to us, so this is a rare opportunity to purchase any of these window cards at one time, and of course, if one was dedicated enough, one could purchase all 24 and duplicate what took him decades to accomplish in a single day!

Prior to paperbacking, the window card had some pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges, with some smudges, scuffs, and stains scattered in the image. Overall, the window card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
