Prior to paperbacking, the blank top had been mostly trimmed off and there were pinholes, tears, and small areas of paper loss around the edges, with some creases, smudges, and faint stains scattered in the image. There was a 3" tear in the center of the bottom border. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer chose to do mostly border restoration and restoration in the yellow and red background areas, but mostly left the image areas alone, because they did not want to give the window card a heavily restored look. You can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects (especially from close up), but from a reasonable viewing distance, the card displays pretty well. But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above and have looked carefully at our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
