Important Added Info: Note that ANY U.S. movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single U.S. movie paper item from this movie (only Italian re-release posters) until we received this 1932 first release U.S. lobby 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.

Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had tiny staple holes and smudges around the edges, with a few faint smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the lobby card was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well!
