What IS linenbacking? Learn More UPDATED 08/27/2012: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that this is a very rare early poster for this film. The poster was printed when the title in Japan was intended to be "Star Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back". It was later changed to "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" as the official title. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was tri-folded and it had minor wear on the top and bottom folds, and some small creases in the center of the middle fold. There were some creases and scuffs scattered throughout the image and pinholes in the corners, with a few small tears and faint stains in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
