Date Sold 4/15/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Lassie Come Home, the classic 1943 Fred M. Wilcox collie canine dog family melodrama ("The picture that's true to life!"; "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor Triumph!"; "Based on the novel by Eric Knight, author of 'This Above All'"; "Eric Knight's great dog story 'Lassie Come Home'"; "All the thrilling and amazing tricks that made Lassie the most famous dog in the world.") starring Roddy McDowall, Donald Crisp, Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Nigel Bruce, Elsa Lanchester, Lassie (in the title role), and Elizabeth Taylor. Note that this was Elizabeth Taylor's second movie, when she was 10 years old, and she had very low billing in this movie and the previous one. She would have two more movie roles with no billing at all in "Jane Eyre" and "White Cliffs of Dover", but then in 1945, she starred in "National Velvet", which made her a star. So her next movie, which was two years later, was a sequel to this movie called "Courage of Lassie", and she was given star billing, after having been seventh billed in this movie (and un-billed on the posters!)

Important Added Info: Note that this set, and 47 others (which are each in their own auction) come to us from a collector who started collecting DECADES ago! Not only was this a time when you could still find complete sets on titles like these, and with some extra looking, you could still find nice condition sets! This is a rare opportunity to not only purchase many complete sets on titles that are usually found broken up and sold by the card, but also a chance to get a nice condition set (see below for the exact condition of this specific set). Note that this complete set of lobby cards includes card #8 which features a very young Elizabeth Taylor (see above)! Condition: good to very good. Four cards (including card #8) have been slightly trimmed along the right blank border edge. The title card has a few tiny dot stains at right. The cards are otherwise in pretty nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
