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. 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.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the card's left, top, and right borders were trimmed off, and there were a number of creases in the image, with scratch marks over the monster's body, but not his head. Overall, the lobby card was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. Given the card's significant defects, it was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
