Important Added Info: 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. Condition: very good. The poster had nail holes in the corners and some creases, smudges, and light stains around the edges, and some smudges in the solid colored areas. There was a nail hole near the center of the card in Rogers' hair. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, because you can see slight signs of the restoration of the above defects, but from any reasonable viewing distance, they are not very distracting, and the poster does not have a "restored" look.
