Important Added Info: 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it will be sent rolled in a tube.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a long tear in the top center of the image, running down the middle of Tierney's face. It had a second 4" tear running off from the left of that tear. It had several other tears scattered in the title area and some pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. Someone performed slight restoration to the poster, but it is still quite noticeable.
