Condition: very good. the poster has a small triangular area of paper loss (and tape stains around it in the yellow area below the "M" of "MANTIS"); there is a similar triangular area in the top left corner of the image, but fortunately the paper is still there although it is almost completely separated along the edges of the triangle (at one time there was a piece of tape on the back of the poster that held them in place, but that tape is gone and there is discoloration from the tape on the back, but it does not bleed through). There is tiny paper loss on one side of the triangle; there is a pair of staple holes in the top right of the image in the blue area above the mantis' arm and another pair of staple holes in the yellow area below the "I" of "MANTIS"; there is a pair of staple holes in each corner; there is a tape stain in the top of the right blank border; The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Except for the defects described above, the poster is in nice condition, and the colors are bright and the paper is crisp. Its defects are basically easily correctable and would vanish if it were linenbacked and the poster would look wonderful! Learn More about condition grades
