Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this mini window card! Note that this poster has been very slightly trimmed and it now measures 7 3/4" x 13 3/4" [20 x 35 cm]. Also 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster's blank top had been trimmed off, and a tiny bit of the right blank border was trimmed off (only blank white paper was affected). There were some tiny staple holes around the edges. Overall, the mini window card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. Someone paperbacked the card and performed restoration to the above defects, including replacing the missing blank top, but they did not replace the tiny bit of missing right blank border, and they also slightly misjudged the amount to add to the blank top, so the card measures 7 3/4" x 13 3/4", 1/4" short in each direction, but only blank white paper is missing, and otherwise, the card displays well (see our image).
