Note that there is controversy about the ending of this movie!

On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good to fine. The back of the card has darkened around the edges, which has slightly darkened the extreme outer edges of the front of the card. There is a pinhole in each corner. There is a piece of tape on the back of the center of the top border, but it was not put there for any restoration purpose. Other than the above really minor defects, the card is in nice condition!
