Important Added Info: Note that when one of the first movie poster books reproducing classic lobby cards was published in 1982, called "Foyer Pleasure", the publisher wanted a REALLY striking lobby card to put on the cover, and they chose this exact card! Since this book was many collectors' first introduction to the world of collectible lobby cards, a huge number of collectors have always dreamed about owning this wonderful card, and after this auction ends, someone WILL own it! 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 to very good. The card must have had some light dirt or light staining, and some talented professional gave it a light bleaching. This surely brightened the card, but they did not do it so heavily that it removed every stain, and they did not do other restoration. There is a faint smudge in the fur to the right of Dietrich's head and a stain near the center of the right blank border. There is a pinhole in each corner, with a few creases around the edges and light rippling in the upper right of the card (but it is more "felt" than seen). Learn More about condition grades
