Holl Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the card was trimmed on all four sides, extending approximately 1/4" into the image on all four sides. There was paper loss down the left of the "F" of "FAIRBANKS" and in Fairbanks' hat, and also along the bottom of the "FAIR". There was some paper loss in the bottom center of the image at the bottom of the whip. Overall, the lobby card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed by a talented restorer, who replaced the missing areas. However, you clearly can tell that the card has had restoration, and while it displays pretty well, please bear this in mind before placing a bid on this card. Learn More about condition grades
