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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

It had smudges, scuffs, creases and some tiny stains scattered throughout with some in the blank borders. The poster was paperbacked (see above), and the restoration, which was solely done in the image area, has minimized how noticeable the above defects are, but you can still see some signs of the restoration, especially from up close.
