Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned three examples of this title card, but only one in the last 12 years, and that one sold for $877! 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. Condition: good to very good. The card has darkened, typical of Columbia lobby cards of this period, but it is not very fragile at all. It had some creases around the edges, with pinholes in the corners. It had tiny bits of paper loss in the left of the top blank border. Someone put tape on the back of that area to reinforce it. There is also paper tape on the back of the bottom and right borders, but it was not put there for a restoration purpose. There are a few creases and scuffs scattered in the image. The card displays well from a reasonable viewing distance, and of course, one might choose to have restoration performed (although I would think many people could display this great card just as it is).
