Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned these two lobby cards!

Note that this group of lobby cards is from a remarkable find that was just made of extremely rare lobby cards from the very early 1930s, the kind of titles you never see! Unfortunately, all of them were in lesser condition and some in much lesser condition. We took out the best seven for individual auctions and then there are eleven incomplete sets of cards in eleven separate auctions (and this is one of those incomplete sets), and finally, we made four bulk lots of the cards in the worst condition. All of these will be auctioned in our auctions that end in January, and afterwards, there will be no more cards from this remarkable find!


Condition: poor to fair. The cards have darkened unevenly and have paper loss in the corners. They have some smudges and stains scattered throughout. Obviously, these extremely rare lobby cards can be restored, but bear their condition in mind (and look at our super-sized images) before bidding on them.
