Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two other lobby cards from this movie prior to this one, but those two did not show Lon Chaney in the central image! 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: poor to fair. The card is heavily water stained throughout, and there is paper loss in three blank corners, more so in the bottom corners. While this card might seem hopeless, it is actually likely the sort that a modern day restorer can do wonders with, because it is likely that much of the staining can be removed through chemical means, and afterwards, the card will likely need little paint restoration. However, bear in mind the cost of restoration before bidding on this extreme rare Lon Chaney Sr. card! Learn More about condition grades
