What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had writing on the back that advertised another movie, over much of the back of the poster. Otherwise, it had minor fold and border wear and pinholes around the edges. The writing on the back slightly bled through to the front, and it is slightly noticeable in the yellow and white background areas, but it is not all that distracting.
