Sears science fiction (sci-fi) UFO alien thriller ("Calling All Flying Saucers!"; "This is a space message to flying saucers where ever you are! ...we are prepared to resist your attack! ...for the first time our world is united. We will not surrender!"; "The terrifying truth about flying saucers!"; "Warning! Take Cover!"; "Attention Earth-People! This is an invasion by flying saucers!"; "This Is It! The battle that may be waged in your lifetime!"; "Flying Saucers Attack!"; "Flying saucers have invaded our planet... Washington, London, Paris, Moscow, fight back!"; "Technical Effects Created by Ray Harryhausen"; "Screen Story by Curt Siodmak") starring Hugh Marlowe, Joan Taylor, Donald Curtis, Morris Ankrum, John Zaremba, Thomas Browne Henry, and Harry Lauter

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by Ray Harryhausen! Our consignor knew Mr. Harryhausen and this card was signed in person in 2008, likely around the time of a tribute given to Harryhausen by American Cinematheque at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, and we are certain that the autograph is genuine. 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.

Finally, note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original lobby card (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards.

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had pinholes, smudges, and a few stains around the edges. It had a faint line drawn near to the left edge of the left blank border and the top edge of the top blank border. Overall, the lobby card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was pretty well backed, but you can see slight signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, and the restorer left alone the faint lines in the two borders described above (see our image).
