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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good. The card had been displayed, and the "reds" in the card had faded considerably, including in the "flesh" areas of the people. It also had a stain in the top center image background, extending down to the right of monster's face, with a fine scuff mark entering his nose. It had pinholes around the edges, with some small tears and tiny paper loss in the left, bottom, and right borders, with paper loss in the top right corner extending into the image background. Overall, the card was in fair to good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. However, they did NOT address the fading described above. So while it displays pretty well (but you can see slight signs of the restoration), it still IS noticeably faded, so do not bid on this card unless you can accept this significant defect.
