Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this window card, and only one in the last 16 years! That last example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had some nail holes and stains around the edges, with damage in the faces of both Gracie Allen and George Burns, and in the credits below that area. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. A really talented restorer did an excellent job making the card presentable, but you can see some signs of the restoration, especially when you look at it close up. Learn More about condition grades
