Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned this style Z 40x60 before! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: poor. The poster had creases, tears, and stains around the edges, and some of the tears had tape on the back. There were also many creases, scuffs, and some stains scattered in the image, with some areas of surface paper loss. Someone paperbacked the poster and did really minimal restoration to it. After it was backed, it acquired staining in the bottom of the poster that affects the paper backing as well, and it appears that there is much mildew and possibly mold in that area. The person who buys the poster absolutely needs to have professional restoration performed, both to kill the mold or mildew and to make it more presentable. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept these very serious defects described above and are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
