Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned five lobby cards from this movie, and we have NEVER auctioned this title card! 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.

Condition: good. There are some water stains around the edges, extending into the background areas at left and right. There are two tiny tears in the right border. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. This lobby card is an excellent candidate for restoration, because it is likely some or many of the water stains can be removed through chemical means, and afterwards, this ultra rare card will look fantastic, and will likely need very little, if any, paint restoration. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
