Auction History Result 5b291 COURAGE OF LASSIE LC #5 1946 Frank Morgan defends the muzzled famous Collie in courtroom! Date Sold 4/2/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #5 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Courage of Lassie, the 1946 Fred M. Wilcox canine Collie dog family melodrama sequel (written by Lionel Houser) starring Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Morgan, Tom Drake, Lassie ("Lassie in a new adventure"), Selena Royle, Harry Davenport, George Cleveland, Catherine McLeod, Morris Ankrum, William Wallace, Minor Watson, and Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer. Note that Elizabeth Taylor had been 7th billed in "Lassie Come Home" in 1943, and had otherwise only had three uncredited roles, but "National Velvet" in 1945 made her a major star, and so she was top billed in this sequel to "Lassie Come Home" made the following year.

Important Added Info: Note that this great card shows Frank Morgan defending a muzzled Lassie, explaining that "he's been changed by the war, just as many men have been changed". What is even odder is that Lassie is clearly intended to be a female dog, so the caption writer wasn't paying much attention! 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. We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction! Condition: good to very good. There is a pinhole and tiny creases in each corner, with a few tiny stains and faint smudges around the edges. There are diagonal scratch marks in the bottle in the lower left of the image. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
