This means the lobby card was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original lobby card (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. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had a 1" tear in the center of the top border, extending into the brown background. It had tiny paper loss in the top left blank corner and faint stains in the center of the top border, with very minor wear in the rest of the borders. Overall, the lobby card was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. It appears that someone really just wanted the defects in the center of the top border repaired, and that this was the reason the card was restored, and it displays well!
