Auction History Result 1c262 BULLETS OR BALLOTS LC '36 best c/u of Humphrey Bogart & Edward G Robinson on stairs w/ guns! Date Sold 5/3/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Bullets or Ballots, the 1936 William Keighley political crime thriller starring Edward G. Robinson, Joan Blondell, Barton MacLane, Humphrey Bogart, Frank McHugh, Joseph King, Richard Purcell, George E. Stone, Joseph Crehan, and Henry O'Neill. Note that this movie was made directly after Humphrey Bogart's first major hit, "The Petrified Forest", but Warner Bros. still did not believe in him (or possibly the advertising was prepared prior to the release of The Petrified Forest). He was billed a dismal fourth, and Edward G. Robinson was billed large above the title, and Joan Blondell was billed large below the title, but Bogart was billed in small letters after Barton MacLane! In addition, Bogart only appears on a few of the posters, because the main thrust of the ad campaign was pushing Edward G. Robinson! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. There is uneven darkening in parts of the left and right borders and part of the background at the top of the word "BALLOTS". The darkening in the left and right borders actually extends throughout the lower half of the image, but it is honestly not very noticeable (it is most noticeable in the wall area at middle left). There are two tears in the middle of the left border that were repaired with tape from the back and pinholes in the corners (someone put a piece of tape over the back of the pinhole in the lower left corner). There are pinholes in the center of the top and bottom borders. In spite of all these defects, the card still displays pretty well just as it is. I don't know if the darkening can be removed through chemical means, but certainly, a talented restorer could make this card look fantastic! But please bear in mind the condition defects before placing a bid on this card! Learn More about condition grades
