An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

World of Sports, the 1930s - 1950s sports short documentary newsreel series ("A Cavalcade of thrills!"; "A Columbia short subject"; "Another pulse-pounding sports exhibition.") narrated by Bill Stern ("Famous N.B.C. Sports announcer"). This was a stock poster for the series of Columbia short subjects made in the 1930s and 1950s (at least). Columbia would print full-color stock posters with a large yellow rectangle in the center, and then overprint a number of them with information for specific entries in the series in the yellow section.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this particular poster is for World's Champions - Hell Drivers ("A breathtaking spectacle of speed-demon stunts... in an exhibition of suicide-on-wheels!"), the entry in the series that was released in 1949.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some minor wear on the foldlines. There were some pinholes and tiny tears around the edges with a few smudges in the blank borders and in the yellow background areas. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
