Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that example was only in "fair" condition, and it sold for $1,700! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except 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 window card had been trimmed evenly across the top of the image, affecting the top of Carradine's forehead and hair, and all the words above that line, with a tiny bit of the top of Dracula's cape at left and right. The card also had some smudges and stains scattered in the rest of the image, with some tears and small paper loss around the edges. Overall, the window card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer did a really nice job replacing the missing top area of the image, and many collectors would not realize that restoration had been done in that area, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
