We have never sold even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this window card! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. 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? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges, with some pinholes, scuffs, and many dot stains scattered through the image. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but it was necessary to paint over most of the background and writing areas, so the poster has been pretty heavily restored. Bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
