Important Added Info: Note that this is only the third time we have auctioned this great title card! 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. Condition: good. The card has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. It has small tears and some tiny bits of paper loss and surface paper loss around the edges. There are two tiny bits of surface paper loss in the bottom right background area, just below the red box. There is a 1 1/2" tear and a 1" tear near the center of the top border with a crease between them. Someone put a piece of tape on the back of that area and then colored the front of the crease, which had surface paper loss because of the crease. They also put five other small pieces of tape on the back of tears. Otherwise, the card has had no restoration, and certainly, after proper restoration by a talented restorer, this beautiful card will look fantastic, but bear the defects and the cost of restoration in mind before bidding on this card.
