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 had much light staining in the top right, extending into most of Chaney's credit and part of the title. It also had staining in the bottom right, extending into the bottom of the image. It had two tears in the left of the bottom border, extending into the left and right of the words "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer". It had some other creases, tears, and pinholes around the edges. Someone, likely many years ago, performed minimalist restoration to this card without backing it. They used small pieces of tape on the back of the tears and performed slight touch up to the front, but otherwise did little restoration. This extremely rare card can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly, a more modern restoration could be performed. Learn More about condition grades
