Auction History Result 9r231 LUCKY TEXAN TC '34 John Wayne with his gun drawn recovers his gold mine from bad guys, rare! Date Sold 8/20/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Lucky Texan, the 1934 Robert N. Bradbury (billed as "R.N. Bradbury") cowboy western ("Where life was raw and might was law!"; Wayne plays a blacksmith who discovers a gold mine, and almost has it stolen by crooks, but recovers it, and finds love with a pretty woman) starring John Wayne, Barbara Sheldon, Lloyd Whitlock, George 'Gabby' Hayes, and Yakima Canutt NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that lobby cards from 1930s John Wayne Lone Star westerns are extremely rare (in some cases almost as rare as the posters, which is very unusual for any 1930s movies!). Perhaps next-to-no theaters ordered lobby cards for these B-western movies. Only a very few lobby cards that solely list Lone Star have ever surfaced, and some of those are 1940s re-releases, but some of them seem to surely be from the original 1934 release. In 1935, Monogram acquired the rights to these earlier John Wayne Lone Star westerns and re-released them somewhere between 1935 and 1939, but no one I am aware of has been able to date them any more closely. This card is absolutely an incredibly rare 1934 first release Lone Star lobby card for this John Wayne movie! Condition: good. There are water stains and tiny surface paper loss around the edges of the card, very slightly entering the image background in the top right corner only. There is a diagonal crease in the top left corner. 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! Certainly, any talented restorer could likely remove all of the water staining through chemical means and restore the tiny areas of surface paper loss without backing the card, and afterwards, the card will look incredible (although it certainly could be displayed just as it is, since the blank borders can easily be matted over).
