Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Someone trimmed off parts of the blank borders, but left a thin amount of blank border all around, and only blank white paper was affected. It had some tiny creases on parts of the folds and staple holes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster as it was, without replacing the blank borders, and it displays pretty well, but bear the above in mind before bidding on this cool poster.
