This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

It had some pinholes, tiny tears, and small paper loss in the blank borders. It had a pinhole in the bottom right solid red area and a tear that extended into the bottom right corner in the red area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer left 1/2" of excess paper backing around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
