Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good to fine. Some theater long ago glued the two sections of the poster together. There is slight discoloration along the area where the pieces were joined, and creases on most foldlines. The collector who owned the poster rolled it into one long poster, and we will send it rolled in a tube. This week we have given a more detailed overall condition grade along with more details about the condition described in words. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, plus there are some defects (like creasing, tape on the back, extremely tiny pinholes, etc) which can be VERY difficult to see, even in our largest "super-sized" image. Therefore we strongly recommend that you BOTH read our written description of the item, AND ALSO look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
