Condition: folded as issued. overall good shape with minor edge wear but a section has been cut out at the top just left of center (see pic). this poster has been "plasticbacked", which means that a very thin sheet of plastic has been placed over the back, but not the front. this is similar to kraftbacking or linenbacking but it is plastic instead of paper or fabric. it's not like the plastic when you get something laminated, that is very thick. the plastic on the back of this poster is very thin, keeping it very flexible. it greatly increases the durability of the poster and helps protect it from tears and other damage
