Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 10 years ago, when it sold for $1,100! 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 entire window card had darkened. It had a fold across the middle, with creases and tiny paper loss along that fold, and a second fold at a slight diagonal running above it. Both folds went through the fast of the mummy at middle right. There were also tears and small paper loss around the edges, with some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. The person who restored the card did not know what information was originally at the bottom corners, and incorrectly added tiny copyright text and different phrasing for where the card was printed. Overall, the window card was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
