Important Added Info: Note that "Gone With The Wind" premiered in Atlanta in May of 1939. It had a limited release in a limited number of cities in December of 1939. In 1940, it was widely released, and posters were printed that said, "Exactly as originally presented, nothing cut, full-length", to let people know they were still seeing the full movie. In December of 1941, the movie finally made it to neighborhood theaters, and new posters were again printed, this time with the tagline, "Nothing cut but the price", to let people know the movie was still complete, even though they were paying a bargain price. Therefore, the movie was never out of release through the end of 1941. Some people might call the 1940 and 1941 posters re-releases, but that seems wrong to me, because the movie was never out of release during that time, so how could it be "re-released"? Similarly, the 1939 set of lobby cards all have artwork, and have a "picture frame" artwork border around them. The 1940 set of lobby cards has totally different borders, with color photographic images. The lobby card offered here is from the 1940 lobby set. Condition: fair to good. There is paper loss in the corners, and the paper loss in the top right corner extends into the solid background area. There are tears and pinholes around the edges of the card, with an enlarged pinhole in the bottom center in Leigh's sleeve, and two small pinholes near the center, in Leigh's collar. There is an enlarged pair of staple holes in the top center of the card, extending into Gable's hair. There are some scuffs scattered in the image background. While this card clearly has many defects, it is also true that the vast majority of them are in the blank borders or in the solid background areas, and a talented restorer could certainly paperback the card and after proper restoration, the card will look great!
