There are also some faint partial vertical folds scattered in the poster. There are some small tears in part of the left border and in the left of the top border that were repaired with tape from the back, and also one small tear in the middle of the right border. There are a few faint smudges and stains in the blank borders and tiny paper loss in the top left blank corner. Other than the above, the poster is in nice condition, and displays well as it is, and the colors are bright and fresh (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
