Important Added Info: Note that there are two slightly different original sets of cards for this movie (the only difference is that one set has a light green background and the other has a light blue background). Both have every bit of original RKO 1946 information they should have, and it is impossible to know if one set predates the other (my personal opinion is that, like with many other lobby cards at this time, the cards were printed in more than one location, and for some reason, some of the cards were printed with a different background color than the other). Every advanced collector I know considers cards from either type of set to be completely original cards, and there is no preference I am aware of for either type of set. If anyone knows more about this difference in color, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 is a tiny dot stain in Reed's cheek. There is a small tear in the right of the "It's" of the title and someone repaired it with tape from the back. There is a pinhole with a tiny V-shaped tear at bottom center, and a slightly enlarged pinhole in the lower right blank border. The card can certainly still be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to perform restoration to the above very minor defects.
