Important Added Info: Note that while Universal horror lobby cards from their top 1930s movies are extremely expensive, the lobby cards from the three Warner Bros. early 1930s horror movies, The Mystery of the Wax Museum, Dr. X, and The Walking Dead, are FAR more rare than the Universal lobby cards, and yet they often sell for far less! We auctioned four cards from this movie in 2015, and the buyer of this card has reconsigned it to us, so it is still the only example of this card we have ever auctioned! Condition: very good. There are tiny pinholes in the corners. There are yellow stains in the right of the bottom border and some faint smudges in the left of the bottom border, with a thin strip of water staining in the bottom of the right half of the bottom border, extending upward into the bottom right blank corner. There are yellow stains in the lower right border and fine black scuff marks in the top left corner. All of the above different types of stains around the edges can almost certainly be addressed chemically. Other than these stains and tiny pinholes, the card has no restoration and is in wonderful condition. It can either be left as it is, or it can have expert restoration!
