Important Added Info: Note that posters are virtually unknown on this title (we have never auctioned any), and we have only previously auctioned three lobby cards and a set of 8x10 stills. One of those lobby cards has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of three cards we have ever auctioned! 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 to very good. The card's top blank border had been trimmed off, and the card was folded down the middle. It had a few faint stains in the top center image background. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays well! Learn More about condition grades
