Important Added Info: 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. The card had many smudges and creases around the edges, with a few stains as well. It had a 1" tear in the center of the top border. Someone had the card gelbacked and restoration was performed, and while you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, it displays pretty well, although it is lightly rippled around the edges (this is exaggerated in our scan, but it shows you where the rippling is). It must be mentioned that after it was gelbacked, it was slightly roughly handled, and it now has a tiny tear in the lower right border and also it has surface paper separation on the back of the lower left border (which only affects the back and could easily be re-glued). See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Learn More about condition grades
