Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this window card! Posters from this movie are incredibly rare. We previously auctioned a one-sheet and a three-sheet, but those were 22 years ago! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. The poster had creases and scuffs in the lower left, extending into the lower left of the title. There was a long tear just below the title and a second one in the center of the bottom border, and someone put tape on the back of those. There are also stains scattered in the lower right (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
