We have only auctioned it once before, and that was 24 years ago! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, all of the blank borders of the card were trimmed off, and it had some pinholes, tears, and stains scattered through the card, including some in Chaplin's hat and face. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. A talented restorer did a pretty good job restoring this window card, and it presents fairly well from a reasonable viewing distance, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects when you look at it close up, so bear this in mind before placing a bid on this very rare window card.
