Important Added Info: Note that lobby cards from the 1953 re-release of this movie are incredibly rare! We have only previously auctioned four lobby cards from this re-release in all our years of auctioning, and only one of those was a title card! Note that this title card contains stereotyped images of cannibals that were common in the 1940s and 1950s, but will never be used again, and thankfully so. But this is a good reminder of how things were back in 1953, and how much the world has changed since that time! 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: very good. There is a 1/2" tear near the center of the top blank border and a faint brown stain near that tear. There are some faint smudges around the edges. There is a tiny tear in the left of the bottom blank border. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. 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
