We had only auctioned a one-sheet and several lobby cards from this movie other than this single half-sheet, which we auctioned it in 2011. The person who purchased it in that auction has now re-consigned it to us, so it is still the only half-sheet from this movie we have ever auctioned! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking?

It had scattered brown stains in the top quarter of the poster, and also brown stains and nail holes around the edges. It also had tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges, with larger surface paper loss in the lower left border, mostly in the blank border, but slightly extending into the edge of the Columbia logo. There were some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed by a really talented restorer, and it looks and displays great, although you can see slight signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
