A great poster but it sure needs some proper restoration!

That is a VERY important poster!  It was the inspiration for the Flagg's WWI version -- arguably one of the most well known propaganda posters ever.  I'm not surprised by the price at all.

Absolutely agree.  That one recently sold for $3,200
Anything under 5K is a steal  if you ask me
