Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this title card, and the last one was 9 years ago, when it sold for $355. That last example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! 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: very good. The card had a few pinholes, tiny tears, and tiny bits of paper loss around the edges. It had two 1" tears in the right border, extending into the background, and it had a pinhole at the bottom center of Rogers' hair above her forehead. Otherwise, the card had just a few tiny scuffs scattered in the image. Someone performed restoration to the back of the borders without backing it. It displays really well, and has only had restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
