Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was tri-folded only. It had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It had scuff marks in the top right background area to the right of Vader's helmet, 1 1/2" below the white line. It had some faint smudges in the center of the bottom border, slightly extending into the bottom of the credits, with a faint smudge in the middle right of the bottom border, and a few extremely faint smudges in the white background at bottom left. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
