The poster had paper loss in the top corners, that was pretty substantial, but most of it was blank white paper except it affected part of the top of the "G" and part of the top right of the "Y". It appears that the person who owned this poster had another example of it that had many defects in other area and they carefully cut out the matching pieces form the top corners of the second example and then taped and glued them on to this poster from the back! In addition, the poster has small paper loss at the crossfolds and some pinholes in the bottom corners with some wear along the folds. The poster can be displayed as it is, or certainly restoration could be performed, but bear in mind the unusual defects described above before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
