Important Added Info: Note that it shows just how much bigger of a star Norma Shearer was than Clark Gable in 1931, because only her image and name were used on the cover of this herald! Of course, it helped that her husband ran MGM, but just a couple years later, Gable became their biggest star! Also note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this herald (but those had orange instead of pink coloring)! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
