The seller says "This is a 1-page advertisement from a magazine", but I call bullshit. (I asked the question personally)

1. Promo posters don't have white border backrounds? They should have the whole picture with no white border going around it?

2. If it's magazine poster, why isn't it folded or have any holes in the middle?

Laminated :(

P.S if it's 1-page advertisement from a magazine, then there is no need for folding or holes in the middle ;)

Laminated :( Why is that a sad thing? Because you can't frame it?

It's just a magazine page that's been cut out, then put on a backing board and laminated. Can't really see your confusion, he states that in the listing. The magazine page is 205mm x 290mm and the backing board is A4 (210mm x 297mm) so there's bound to be a white border.

Ah OK, backing board. Now I get it. Thanks :)
