Medium-thick flat index stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; there is a 4" diagonal bend in the lower left corner, along with a touch of edge curling, a few tiny pressure creases/edge dings scattered around the outer margin area, a couple of tiny corner-tip bumps/bends, a few soft pin-prick surface spots, thin stress bends and light smudges hiding within the image area and a touch of waviness to the top margin, otherwise it is a SUPERB-looking example of the semi-elusive "mud people" Sky River poster.
