Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned four scene lobby cards from this movie, but we have never before auctioned this title card! 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. The card also had tiny pinholes around the edges and a few tiny pinholes and small stains scattered in the image, including in the stars' faces. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, 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 slight signs of the restoration from close up, but from any reasonable viewing distance, the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
