UPDATED 12/08/2021: Note that we have added more detail to the Condition Description. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had 1/2" trimmed from the top and bottom blank borders, and mostly only blank white paper was affected, but some of the tiny writing in the center of the bottom border was trimmed off. It had a number of scuffs and small areas of surface paper loss scattered in the top right corner of the image, entering Vader's helmet. It had similar scuffs and tiny areas of surface paper loss in the bottom center of the image, below the image of Fisher, in the background area. It had a thin diagonal stain running from the center of Vader's helmet down to the lower left and ending in the small spaceships. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was expertly restored by a talented professional (who recreated the slight bit of trimmed off tiny text in the bottom border), and it displays really well, but bear in mind the amount of restoration it has had before placing a bid!
