Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this scene card! Also 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: fair to good. The card has darkened, typical of Paramount lobby cards of this period. The card has many creases scattered across the top, with ones entering Chevalier's hair and a small one between his eyes. There is a faint crease running across the bottom of Colbert's hair and entering her chin. There are some other creases scattered throughout the card. There are two areas of paper loss in the top of the card, with some tears in the top and right. Obviously, this wonderful (and extremely rare) card can be restored, but bear in mind its many defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid on it.
