We have only auctioned one style C version of this poster in all our years of auctioning, and that was 24 years ago, when it sold for $2,530 (that one was linenbacked in "good to very good" condition, and this one is not backed)! Condition: good to very good. The poster has separation and the tiniest of paper loss at the crossfolds, with a few tiny bits of paper loss and incredibly tiny tears in parts of the folds. It was folded in half an extra time. It once had a piece of tape on the back of the top crossfold, but that tape is long gone. There is a piece of tape on the back of each top corner, probably used to attach it to a wall. Other than those pieces of tape, the poster has never had any restoration of any kind.
