An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #8 ("Counterfeit Trail") One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) King of the Texas Rangers, the 1941 John English & William Witney cowboy western adventure serial ("A Republic Serial in 12 Chapters") starring Sammy Baugh (billed as "'Slingin' Sammy Baugh"; "The Football Sensation"; in the title role as Ranger Tom King, Jr.), Neil Hamilton, Pauline Moore, Duncan Renaldo, Kermit Maynard, Roy Barcroft, Rudolph Anders, and Kenne Duncan. Slingin' Sammy Baugh (born Samuel Adrian Baugh) was a famous professional football sports player was a Texas college star quarterback at TCU University. In 1937, he signed with the Washington Redskins and became a star there. Interestingly, he played minor league baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals the next year, but he remained with the Redskins. In 1941, he was signed by Republic Pictures to star in this movie, where he was billed as "The Football Sensation". The movie was a huge success, and Republic wanted him to make more movies, but Sammy much preferred playing pro football to acting in movies, and he retired, except for a minor appearance in 1948's "Triple Threat", where he played a "Professional Football Player". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had paper loss at the top crossfold and creases and some small tears on the top 1/4 of the vertical foldline, and someone had put tape on the back of that part of the foldline. There was tiny paper loss at the middle crossfold and paper loss at the bottom crossfold. The borders had pinholes, creases, tears, and some small areas of paper loss. The person who did the restoration put new blank white paper over all the borders to even out the appearance (but the small writing at the bottom of the poster was not covered over). This is a common technique used by several top restorers. It is done so well that the majority of collectors are not even aware it has been done, and many do not feel it to be a significant detraction (since it is only blank white area). Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The tape was removed from the back of the top of the vertical fold and the poster was pretty well backed, but you can see some slight signs of the restoration. Learn More about condition grades
