Important Added Info: 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: very good. The card has darkened slightly, typical of Columbia lobby cards of this period. It has a small tear in the left of the top blank border and the left border to the left of that has creases in it, but it is all in the blank area. There are a few tiny tears, tiny pinholes, and faint creases around the edges. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
