Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. The card was "starch backed", which means that it was moistened with a special starch solution, attached to a backing, allowed to dry, and then the card had touch up while it was backed, and afterward, the backing was removed. This particular card had pinholes, smudges, and a few tiny tears around the edges (including a pinhole in Rathbone's forehead), with paper loss in the top right blank corner. The card was starch backed by a talented professional and expert restoration was performed to the above defects. The card displays well, and it still completely looks and feels like an unrestored lobby card. At some point after it was restored, it was roughly handled, which resulted in a faint partial horizontal crease in the middle left of the card, running through Bruce's suit and into Lupino's shoulder. It also acquired a small tear in the right blank border. While I think most collectors would be happy to display this great card as it is, any restorer could perform slight additional restoration to the card without re-backing it.
