Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this title card! Note that this card has been "gel backed". What does that mean? It means that a talented restorer backed the card onto a gel material, and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, and afterward the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. Many collectors prefer this method of restoration to paperbacking or linenbacking, because with those methods the card no longer looks like it was not backed. Gel backing can't be used with cards that have major paper loss or other major defects, but for the cards it can be used on, it is really an excellent method of restoration! 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good. The card had some staple holes, stains, and smudges scattered throughout, with surface paper loss on the back of some areas scattered in the card, where there was once tape that was roughly removed. Overall, the card was in fair to good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card and performed restoration to the above defects. You can clearly see signs of the restoration, and the defects, but the card displays pretty well. Learn More about condition grades
