Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned four first release scene lobby cards from this movie, but we have only once before auctioned this first release title card, which has a wonderful image of Miriam Hopkins! That title card has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! 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: very good. The card had tiny pinholes in the corners and some small dot stains in the left of Hopkins' skirt, and otherwise was in nice 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, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
