Luckily, the pressbook clearly shows which ones Paul Rand & Erik Nitsche worked on, and Bass historians have confirmed that he worked on the insert. 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. Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had some scuff marks scattered in the solid black background areas and pair of staple holes in the top center and bottom center. Overall, the lobby card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
