Condition: Good * (linen backed; poster was folded once vertically and three times horizontally and professional restoration has been performed to address fine surface paper loss and small loses at cross folds; some scotch tape was applied to add structural integrity to some of the cross folds which caused darkening to the areas where it was applied; specifically, at the three main cross folds, resulting in restoration needed to be performed to color over the dark tape stains; the restoration was done very well but you can still see faint stains as well as some paint that was used to cover the stains, most noticeably in and around the upper red letters in the title JAWS; there are a couple sets of repaired staple holes in the bottom blue corner areas of the poster as well as a 2" long vertical "shark bite" tear in the dark blue area on the right side of the poster about half way down. Despite its defects, this poster should display nicely once framed)

* Condition Grading Explained (All grades are pre-linen backing and restoration; flaws/defects are described above to the best of my ability)
Excellent: Near mint condition with, if any, only the most minor detectable flaws.
Excellent / Very Good: Only the most minor of imperfections, including at most a few items on this non-exhaustive list: pinholes in four corners, tiny areas of staining/foxing, surface abrasions, smudge marks, very minor edge/corner wear/tears and paper loss, small area of light unobtrusive writing, subtle and minor creasing, paper lifting and chipping).
Very Good: A nicely preserved poster that has more flaws than the higher grades; if the imperfections are within the image, they are not very distracting or may be in the blank borders where they will not show when displayed.
Very Good / Good: Clear imperfections are evident and likely noticeable if located within the image but not very distracting.
Good: Item with significant defects/imperfections; very noticeable if within the image and even more significant if in the borders.
Fair: Major significant imperfections - please do not bid/purchase the item unless you can accept its major imperfections.
Poor: Extremely major significant imperfections - please do not bid/purchase the item unless you can accept its major imperfections.
