We have only auctioned two lobby cards, a half-sheet, and a one-sheet from this movie until we received this lobby card! 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. Condition: good to very good. The card had darkened very slightly, unusual for Paramount linen cards of this period. It is also not at all fragile. However, someone must have really not liked Emil Jannings in this movie, because they put a big scuff mark from between his eyes down through his nose and mouth to the bottom of the image. They also put a scratch to the right of that near the tip of the nose. There is also a lighter scuff mark running down from Jannings' eyebrow through the left of his eye, and a second one running down the right side of his nose. Some really talented restorer touched up those areas without backing the card. When you look at the card tilted, you can clearly see the restoration, but when you look at it head on, it is practically invisible. We leave it to the bidders to decide how big of a detraction this is. Learn More about condition grades
