If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note the we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert! 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

It had a vertical stain near the middle, running down into the top of the "T". It had smudges and stains around the edges and some smudges in the background areas. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. Someone paperbacked the poster without doing restoration. After it was backed, it acquired a 2" tear in the left border, both in the poster and the backing, and also some tiny tears in the right border. Learn More about condition grades
