The poster had tears and areas of paper loss on parts of many folds and around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster and did a pretty good job, but you can see signs of the above defects, and they painted over the borders to "even them out". Learn More about condition grades
