The poster had surface paper loss and creases along both folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it was roughly handled, and it was partially folded down the middle, which caused surface paper loss in the bottom half of the vertical fold.
