Also 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? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded. It had some creases, smudges, tears, and some tiny paper loss around the edges, with smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the yellow area at lower right. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the restoration of the yellow area at lower right. After it was backed, it was roughly handled, and it acquired two diagonal creases in the lower right and one going into Peck's forehead and hair, and there is a piece of clear tape in the center of the top blank border.
