Important Added Info: Note that most collectors agree that this style B one-sheet from this movie has a FAR superior image to that of the style A! 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. Condition: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had creases and scuffs along the foldlines, and tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds. There was a piece of tape on the back of the middle left of the poster (in the black background to the left of Scott's arm, and that tape had bled through to the front. There were pinholes and a few tiny tears in the corners. The poster was professionally paperbacked many years ago (and the restorer did very slight restoration, and did not address the tape bleedthrough described above, which is not very noticeable). It was displayed in a frame (it was attached to the mat of the frame with five small pieces of white conservation tape on the back of the top blank border) and has both darkened and faded somewhat over the years (the red colors have been most affected, most notably in Scott's dress). The poster displays pretty well, and many people might not realize it was faded unless they compared it to another unfaded example. Learn More about condition grades
