Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that, for unknown reasons, the inserts and half-sheets on this title are far more rare than the one-sheets and lobby cards. We have only previously auctioned two inserts in all the years we've been auctioning! Note that this poster has not been backed and was folded at one time. However, it has wide paper tape on the back of two folds, so we think it would be wisest to send it in a large flat package (although it could be rolled or folded, if the new owner did not mind "bringing back the foldlines" more than they are. Condition: good to very good. The poster was separated on the left 5" of the bottom horizontal fold, and it had surface paper loss and a tape stain in that area, and also had tiny surface paper loss in the top horizontal fold. It had pinholes in the corners. Someone put wide paper tape and masking tape on the back of the bottom two foldlines, but otherwise did not restoration. Learn More about condition grades
