Important Added Info: Note that on this classic movie, and on several other major releases of the 1950s, MGM issued two entirely different sets of lobby cards! One set was the kind that is regularly seen. The other kind was a "photolobby" set with glossier color scenes from the movie, most often entirely different from the other set, and sometimes the photolobbies were black and white photos that had been hand-colored prior to production. The photolobbies are at least as rare as the regular lobby cards! Note that in the 1930s and 1940s, MGM issued yet a third kind of color 11" x 14", called a "color glos" 11" x 14", but these were on a photo paper, whereas the 1950s photolobbies are on regular lobby card-like stock.
UPDATED 08/20/2015: Note that this is an original photolobby title card from 1952 and not from a 1960s re-release as we initially listed. We have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: good. There is a pair of staple holes in each corner of the image, with creases and tiny surface paper loss in the corners. There is a tiny tear in the top border and scuffs scattered throughout. Note that this photolobby is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
