 Medium glossy stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; there are a series of thin stress creases and a couple of tiny nip tears scattered around the outer margin area, along with a number of thin vertical stress creases hiding within the image area, along with a few thin bends/creases along the upper margin area and a bit of corner-tip wear, otherwise fine.
