Important Added Info: Note that we have been consigned a collection of early lobby cards that all were heavily trimmed (some with just the borders trimmed, but others trimmed to 8" x 10"). They are all from very rare titles, and certainly, they could be restored (or displayed as they are). One would obviously prefer finding an untrimmed example of this card, but one might wait a VERY long time to find that untrimmed example, but bear in mind this significant defect before bidding on this card, which has been trimmed and it now measures 8 3/4" x 11 1/4" [22 x 29 cm]. 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.
UPDATED 08/11/2017: Note that we were originally unsure which film this lobby card was promoting. However, a knowledgeable collector identified it as The Great Moment, and we have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: fair. Most of the borders were trimmed off, as was the bottom title area. There are tears, darkening, pinholes, and areas of paper loss around the edges (see our image). Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
