Condition: good to very good. There is a pinhole in Stewart's upper lip. There was a 1 1/2" clean tear in the middle of the left border which was repaired with paper tape from the back. There is a pinhole in the center of the top and right blank borders. There are creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss in the top and right borders, and there is paper loss in the top right blank corner (it does not reach the image). There are a few very minor scuff marks within the image. The card is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Aside from the pinhole in Stewart's lip, the rest of the defects are almost exclusively in the blank borders. One could frame this great title card just as it is, or any talented restorer could surely paperback it, and once the above defects are corrected, the card would look fantastic, and there would only be a tiny amount of paint within the image area.
