Condition: good to very good. "ROBINSON" is written with red crayon in the upper right over the "RETURN MATCH!" tagline, but since it is red, it closely matches the colors of the poster and isn't terribly distracting. There is minor separation at each crossfold. The bottom crossfold has some clear tape over it. There are minor creases throughout the poster that aren't very distracting. There are a few smudges and tack holes in the borders. Learn More about condition grades
