NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there was a 1940s re-release of this serial, and the lobby cards from that re-release are often mistakenly sold as originals, but the originals are dated and printed on a heavier paper, while the re-releases are undated and printed on a thin paper. That early re-release might account for how incredibly rare the first release cards are! We have only previously auctioned five first release 1940 title cards, and one of those five has now been reconsigned to us! 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: good. There are some scuffs scattered in the top of the card, including some in the stars' faces. There is a pencil mark on one of Shannon's eyes near top center. There are pinholes in the top corners. There are stains down the right border. There is paper loss in the top right corner, and someone taped a piece of another card to the front and back of that area (see our images). Obviously, this super scarce card can be restored, but please look closely at our super-sized images to see the exact defects it has before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
