Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18 1/2" [36 x 47 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair. The poster is quite fragile and it has tears and areas of paper loss around the edges. It also has a partial vertical fold down the top center of the card, extending into the back of Cooper's hair. There are also some water stains around the edges. The card is in urgent need of restoration, so bear this in mind before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
