Important Added Info: NOTE: Most lobby cards from before 1940 (and some from after that date) did not have individual lobby card numbers like later lobby cards (those printed after the advent of NSS in 1940) did. So we have arbitrarily assigned numbers to unnumbered lobby cards, only when we sell more than one from a set, so that there is a convenient way to tell different scenes apart. (Note that we do not use #1, because this is commonly used to signify the title card). The exception to this is sets of cards that did not have title cards. Condition: good. The card has what appears to be a fine pencil line running from Stewart's mouth across the bridge of Arthur's nose and running into her hair. This may be pencil, or it may be some sort of pen, and it is likely that it could not be easily erased, but a professional restorer might be able to remove it, or could surely paint over it so that it was not noticeable. There is a small white stain in Arthur's hair next to Stewart's face and a similar small white stain in Stewart's temple. There is a stain in the background above Arthur's hair and there is a fine scuff line in the left border art running across Stewart's forehead. There are some creases and scuffs throughout the image, but they are basically only noticeable when the card is tilted to the light. There are pinholes in the corners and paper loss in the top blank corners. While this card has clear significant defects, it is also true that a top professional could surely paperback this great portrait card, and after proper restoration, the card will look fantastic!
