Condition: good to very good. there are creases in the top 1" of the card above the right half of the image area; there were several pinholes in each corner and somebody put white tape over the back of each corner and then restored the pinholes and the corners (you can see the restoration on close inspection, but it is not very noticeable or distracting); the area in each corner extends into the corner of the scene. In the top two corners it is solely solid red area, but in the bottom two corners it extends into the first "C" and last "A" of "CASABLANCA". There was also a lesser amount of restoration done in other areas around the edges of the card, including some in the center of the top blank border and in the sky area at top center. But it appears there was no restoration at all within the images of the people on the card; Please do not bid on this rare and desirable lobby card unless you can accept the restoration that it has had!
