Important Added Info: Note that we previously auctioned this great close up card in 2001 and another one in 2004, but we have not auctioned it in the 13 years since! 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 Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. It has a partial horizontal crease across the center and across the upper part of the image, with some much lighter additional partial horizontal creases scattered in the rest of the card. It has four horizontal scuff lines running from O'Brien's jacket through to the right border (see our image). It has pinholes around the edges and a 1/2" tear in the left border, with small surface paper loss. There are faint stains in the bottom border, tiny pinholes around the edges, and some tiny bits of surface paper loss in the edges of the borders. Obviously, this great card has real defects, but it has had no restoration at all, and it is not at all fragile, which is very unusual for Warner Bros. linen cards of this period. Certainly, restoration can be performed, but bear in mind the card's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
