Important Added Info: 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. Condition: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had much staining and smudges scattered throughout the top and bottom of the card (but very little across the center of the card), and there were pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. Given the extent of the defects, the card was pretty well backed, but the restorer put lots of restoration paint in the light background areas and in the faces of both stars, and the card has a "restored" look, so please do not bid on it unless you can accept this!
