Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned several first release lobby cards from this movie, and we have NEVER auctioned THIS great scene card! 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 has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. It has pinholes, small tears, and small paper loss around the edges. It has a horizontal crease along the lower part of the image, with some partial horizontal creases below that. It has some creases in the top of the image. It has a faint foreign stamp in the middle right, with creases in that area. Someone long ago put some small pieces of clear tape on the back of the bottom border and some large pieces of paper tape on the back of three borders. However, they did no other restoration. In spite of the above defects, this great card can still be displayed and enjoyed, or certainly, any degree of restoration can be performed, but that will be the choice of the new owner of this ultra rare card.
