Important Added Info: Note that Fields was one of three leads in this major Paramount production. I don't know how many cards in the lobby set he appears in, but it is likely only a couple, and this great card would surely be the best of them! Condition: fine. the right 3" of the card was very lightly water stained on the back. It had virtually no effect on the front except for a light red stain in the bottom of the right blank border. Other than a couple of very minor smudges in the other borders, the card is in really wonderful condition, and it is hard to believe it is nearly 70 years-old! Learn More about condition grades
