This is a rare opportunity for bidders to acquire any (or all!) of the eight cards created for this movie (note that they are all scene cards, because Paramount at this time did not make title cards). Note also 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 faint drip stains in the top background area and they have extended down over the left of Wyman's face in the background to the left of her. There are pinholes in each corner and tiny paper loss in the top left blank corner. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Certainly, any talented restorer could likely remove the faint staining from over Wyman's face, with or without backing the card, and the other defects can be restored as well, but bear all of the above in mind before placing a bid.
