We have only previously auctioned a title card (16 years ago for $1,202), a glass slide, and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this window card, which has a great close up image of James Cagney and Loretta Young, and we have never auctioned it before! Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18 1/2" [36 x 47 cm]. Condition: good. The card had much staining on the back , and a lesser amount of staining scattered through the image. It also had nail holes around the edges. Someone put tape on the back of the nail holes, but otherwise left the card as is. Obviously this incredibly rare card can be restored, and after proper restoration it will look fantastic!
