Note that after Robby the Robot appeared in this movie, he had another movie role in "The Invisible Boy", and then he appeared in a slightly modified version as the robot in TV's "Lost in Space". On November 21, 2017, the original "Robby the Robot" was auctioned, and it sold for $5.375 million! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: PLEASE READ OUR CONDITION DESCRIPTION VERY CAREFULLY! THIS GREAT CARD HAS REAL DEFECTS, WHICH ARE CLEARLY DESCRIBED BELOW! PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS CARD UNLESS YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ OUR CONDITION DESCRIPTION AND HAVE ALSO CAREFULLY STUDIED OUR SUPER-SIZED IMAGE OF THIS GREAT CARD! Condition: fair. It appears that the card was once completely laminated, and that someone managed to remove most of the lamination from the borders of the card, but then tried a little to keep removing it, and apparently gave up and left the lamination on all of the image, and some small parts of the borders. There are creases, small tears, smudges, and some small areas of paper loss around the edges of the card, and pinholes in the corners and in the center of the top border. There is some surface scuffing in the lamination, but it is really only noticeable when the card is tilted to the light. THIS CARD HAS SIGNIFICANT DEFECTS, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS CARD UNLESS YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ THE ABOVE, AND HAVE CAREFULLY STUDIED OUR SUPER-SIZED IMAGE! I have no idea if the lamination can be removed (BUT MY FEELING IS THAT IT MAY WELL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT DAMAGING THE IMAGE, SO DON'T BID ON THE HOPE THAT IT CAN BE REMOVED!), but certainly one could display this card just as it is, and, with the borders matted out, it could display pretty well!
