Important Added Info: Note that there are two slightly different original sets of cards for this movie (the only difference is that one set has a light green background and the other has a light blue background). Both have every bit of original RKO 1946 information they should have, and it is impossible to know if one set predates the other (my personal opinion is that, like with many other lobby cards at this time, the cards were printed in more than one location, and for some reason, some of the cards were printed with a different background color than the other). Every advanced collector I know considers cards from either type of set to be completely original cards, and there is no preference I am aware of for either type of set. If anyone knows more about this difference in color, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The card has faint water staining on the back that is mostly in the center, but also scattered in the upper left and along the borders. FORTUNATELY, much of this faint staining does not show through to the front! The stains that do affect the front are small light stains in the blank borders and a few in the background areas (all of these are mirror stains to ones on the back, so if you look at the front and back images, you can see exactly where these are). If I owned this card, I would surely have a talented restorer remove the staining (either during gel backing the card, or possibly without even backing the card at all). After this restoration, the card will look fantastic, and have very little paint restoration, if at all, but bear these defects in mind before bidding on this card. Learn More about condition grades
