This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. A few of the tears extended into the image area. There were some creases and scuffs scattered through the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. You can see signs of some of the restoration and some unrestored scuffs from close up, but from any reasonable viewing distance, they are really not very distracting at all.
