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. Condition: good to very good. The card had many creases, tears, pinholes, and areas of paper loss around the edges (extending into the edges of the image and into the bottom two lines of credits), but the image area of the card was in pretty nice condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely restored, and the small missing areas of the image and the damage to the borders was expertly repaired, and I think few people would realize that the card had had the restoration it did unless it was specifically pointed out to them!
