Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a card, seven stills, and a Swedish from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this half-sheet, which we have never auctioned before! 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 that measures approximately 24" x 30", unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded. It had paper loss near the middle of the right border, but only in the blank area, with a few tears to the left of the paper loss, extending into the man's hair, forehead, and temple. It had a few pinholes, tears, and small paper loss in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
