This poster is in Very Good to Finecondition and was Linenbacked.

The poster looks very good and I believe most collectors would be happy to display it on their wall, but you be the judge from the picture above.

Prior to Linen-backing this poster had small holes at the crossfolds.  It had extra creases, and tiny tears down the vertical foldline.  It had some wear on the other foldlines and pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges.  There was a small area of paper loss in the brim of Coopers's hat.  Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linen-backing.  The poster was backed pretty well and displays wonderfully.

Linen-backing is used to preserve movie posters which makes the movie poster much easier to display.  Linenbacking adds to the value of the movie poster and makes the quality more visible.
