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 to very good. There are pinholes, smudges and tiny stains around the edges with a tiny it of green paint on the outer edges of parts of two borders. The card displays pretty well, but certainly any talented restorer could greatly improve its appearance, and likely be able to remove the smudges and stains chemically.
