Important Added Info: Note that the scene pictured on this lobby card does not appear in the actual movie! It is from a celebratory parade sequence intended for the end of the movie where Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur return to Stewart's hometown and are honored by the locals. But the scene was cut from the final version of the movie, but not before an image from it was used on this lobby card! NOTE: Most lobby cards from before 1940 (and some from after that date) did not have individual lobby card numbers like later lobby cards (those printed after the advent of NSS in 1940) did. So we have arbitrarily assigned numbers to unnumbered lobby cards, only when we sell more than one from a set, so that there is a convenient way to tell different scenes apart. (Note that we do not use #1, because this is commonly used to signify the title card). The exception to this is sets of cards that did not have title cards. Condition: good to very good. There is what appears to be a fine pencil line running from Arthur's arm in the inset image across to Arthur's hat in the central image, and continuing faintly on into the crowd to the right of her. When one tilts the card to the light, one can see that, in addition to this line, there are many other long scuff lines across the center of the image (it appears someone was writing on a piece of paper on top of this card, and that they slipped and actually wrote on the card in the line described above). It is important to note that other than the one line described above, the others are not noticeable except when the card is tilted to the light. There are pinholes in each corner and in the middle of the left, right, and top borders. There is a 1 1/2" scratch across the top of Stewart's chest in the inset image. There are some water stains across the bottom 1/2" of the card. While the card has real defects, it displays reasonably well just as it is (because the image defects are really too faint to see from any distance away), but please do not bid on this card unless you have read the above carefully!
