The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster also had an extra horizontal fold 1/2" above the regular middle one. It had some writing on the back that bled through to the front in Kelly's neck and Stewart's forehead. It had some smudges scattered in parts of the poster, including in Kelly's face, that may have been a printing defect. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
