Other slight creases which are usually visible only when the poster is tilted in the light: upper left area, at the top of the "U" in "June"; in the silver around the woman's naval; and in the "T" of "Festival" in bottom right. And on the poster's verso, there are three remaining small pieces of white cloth framing tape. This item's in lovely overall shape that could easily be called Near Mint Minus.
