What is paperbacking? 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. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded vertically and there is a second light partial vertical fold next to the regular one, with some creases, scuffs, and separation on that fold. There were some pinholes and small tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Also, after the poster was paperbacked, it was roughly handled, and there is now a 1" tear in the bottom center (both in the poster and the paper backing). Learn More about condition grades
