Note that there are both full color and black & white lobby cards known to exist on this title. It is quite possible that Paramount sold a color set for more money than they sold the black & white set. The color cards are not "hand colored", although there were studios hand-coloring cards at this time. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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. Condition: good. The card was folded down the center and there is clear tape on the back of that fold. There are tiny dot stains scattered throughout, with tiny paper loss in the top right blank corner. Please look at our super-sized images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this card before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
