An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Santa Fe Stampede, the 1938 George Sherman New Mexico cowboy western ("Original Story by Luci Ward"; "Based on the characters created by William Colt McDonald") starring The Three Mesquiteers (John Wayne, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan, and Max Terhune), June Martel, William Farnum, LeRoy Mason, and Richard Alexander NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned several 1938 first release lobby cards from this movie, but we have NEVER auctioned this first release title card, with a great close image of The Three Mesquiteers! We are also currently auctioning a scene card in a separate auction. Note that this card has been "gel backed". What does that mean? It means that a talented restorer backed the card onto a gel material, and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, and afterward the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. Many collectors prefer this method of restoration to paperbacking or linenbacking, because with those methods the card no longer looks like it was not backed. Gel backing can't be used with cards that have major paper loss or other major defects, but for the cards it can be used on, it is really an excellent method of restoration! 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had diagonal paper loss in the top left blank corner, with some pinholes around the edges and tape stains in the middle of the top and bottom borders. There was a pinhole in the top right background area, but otherwise, the image area was in pretty nice condition prior to restoration. The person who performed the gelbacking did a pretty nice job, but they left alone light staining in the middle of the top border and some slight staining in the bottom border, perhaps because those areas will not show when the card is framed. You can clearly see the above border defects, but otherwise, the card displays well (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
