Important Added Info: Note that these lobby cards measure 13" x 17 1/4" [33 x 44 cm]. Also note that this Swiss lobby card was made by the distributor creating a set of identical stiff board printed backings with printed information about the movie, with a blank space for a still, and then they would attach a number of original U.S. stills to those boards, thus creating a set of Swiss lobby cards. Note that the board has metal grommets inserted into each corner, to make displaying of this Swiss lobby card far easier. Note that because the sets of Swiss lobby cards we are auctioning are both oversized and quite heavy, the buyers of them will have to pay the actual cost of shipping (wherever the buyer lives). So after the auction ends, the high bidder on this item will need to get a shipping quote for sending it (but it CAN be combined with any of the other items in this set of auctions). Condition: good. Three of the cards have pinholes and tiny surface paper loss around the edges. The card with Bogart and Greenstreet has faint stains in the borders. The card with Henreid and Sakall was folded across the middle, which damaged the tipped in still. Learn More about condition grades
