Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a one-sheet (32 years ago), eight lobby cards (most of which were 23 to 25 years ago, and we recently auctioned three different scene cards for $613, $525, and $343), two glass slides, and two single stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this lobby card! 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. The card has darkened, typical of Columbia lobby cards of this period. It has tack holes in the corners and in the center of the top border, with some paper loss in the blank borders caused by rough removal of the tacks. There are also some creases around the edges and some small stains by where the tacks were. There are also some thumbnail creases scattered in the image, including one at the top of Stanwyck's nose entering her eyebrow, but not her eye. Please read our description above and look at our super-sized images before placing a bid on this incredibly rare card! Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
