Important Added Info: Note that, for unknown reasons, the insert poster from this Alfred Hitchcock movie has always been far more rare than the other size posters, and we have only auctioned it twice before, and that was 10 years ago and 18 years ago! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? 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. Also note that because this poster was backed onto a fairly stiff heavyweight paper backing, we would MUCH prefer to send it in a large flat package rather than attempting to roll it in a tube, so bear that extra expense in mind before placing a bid on this poster.

It had a tear in the bottom credits area that almost completely separated the poster into two pieces. It ran through the "GRE" of "GREGORY" and then down into the right end of the top of "HITCHCOCK". There was a 4" tear in the upper left border extending into the back of Bergman's hair and a 3" tear in the right border extending into the edge of Peck's hair, with a 2" tear extending into his shoulder. There were other tears around the edges of the poster, with some pinholes and tiny paper loss. There were some creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
