Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of the style B half-sheet, but we have never before auctioned this style A half-sheet! 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). Note that this poster was accidentally listed in the section with half-sheets that CAN be rolled, but as noted above, it can't. The only place it says that it can be rolled is in our chart of items from this auction, but ignore that and know that it must be sent in a very large flat packages that measures approximately 24x40.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen half-sheets of this period. It had creases, scuffs, surface paper loss, and paper loss on both folds and some tears and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
