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. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the card had darkened quite a bit, and it had some pinholes, tears, and paper loss in the corners and in the center of each border. Overall, the lobby card was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not address the darkening. Learn More about condition grades
