Important Added Info: Note that first release 1930 movie posters from this Gary Cooper western are incredibly rare. We have never sold even a single poster from this movie until we received this window card! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had circular hole in the bottom left black background area and another in the blue background to the right of the wanted sign.

The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
