Important Added Info: 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 had pinholes, tears, and smudges around the edges. It had a snipe over the "No. 2" at upper right (obviously because they weren't showing the second movie), and there was also a snipe over the entire right title and credits area. There was staining and surface paper loss in the bottom of the left two inset images at top left. The card had some smudges and stains scattered throughout. Overall, the card was in fair condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material), and given the card's many defects, they did a pretty good job restoring it, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see signs of the restoration, but the card displays fairly well. Learn More about condition grades
