Important Added Info: Note that first release 1931 movie posters from this Zane Grey movie are incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single poster from this movie (only lobby cards and stills) until we received this window card! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. The poster had paper loss in the top center that affected the "E" of "ZANE". It had tears in the "ID" of "RIDERS". Someone glued three pieces of cardboard to the back of those three areas to reinforce them. There are also some water stains, tears, and paper loss around the edges. The poster needs to be restored, but after it is, it will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
