If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. the poster was paperbacked; it appears the top of the poster was trimmed off (both the blank top and the red tagline area), and that both have been expertly recreated. Looking closely at the card one sees many creases and tears throughout the image area including some in the top of Lorre's head and some in Drake's head. Yet, the card was so expertly restored that the defects are not very noticeable from any distance away, and the card does not have a heavily restored look or feel to it.
