Important Added Info: 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had 1" trimmed from the right border, extending into the image background. Otherwise, it only had some tiny pinholes around the edges and some minor border wear. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A very talented restorer replaced the missing right 1" through the gel backing process (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material), and it was really well done, and the card displays really well, although you can see slight signs of the restoration in that area.
