Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this title card! Also note that the vast majority of collectors would assume that this is a title card, but it is not! In the mid to late 1920s, Paramount made many sets of lobby cards where the seven scene cards all LOOK like title cards, but the actual title card is different from the seven scene cards (not too long after this, Paramount abandoned title cards altogether for the most part for the next forty-odd years, instead using a posed portrait of the stars in place of a title card). In the case of this set, ALL eight cards seem to be scene cards! This card is definitely the title card, because it has the additional writing credits, where the scene cards do not. Condition: good to very good. There is darkening in three of the borders, more so in the right border, where there are also some uneven stains. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
