Date Sold 6/8/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Undated (probably 1990s) Re-Release Theatrical Mexican Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 12 3/4" x 17" [32 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) The Wizard of Oz, the classic 1939 Victor Fleming family magical fantasy adventure musical ("MGM's miracle musical show of shows!"; "It's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor triumph!"; "Magnificent in its brilliant Technicolor splendor!"; "At Last It's Here Biggest Sensation Since "Snow White"!"; "The mighty miracle show that is the talk of America!"; "Amazing sights to see! The Tornado, Munchkinland, Horse of a Different Color, Startling Balloon Ascent, The Flying Monkeys, The Tree That Throws Apples"; "Gaiety! Glory! Glamour!"; based on the classic book of the same name by L. Frank Baum; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Judy Garland (as Dorothy), Frank Morgan (in the title role as The Wizard of Oz!), Ray Bolger (as The Scarecrow), Bert Lahr (as The Cowardly Lion), Jack Haley (as The Tin Man), Billie Burke (as Glinda, the Good Witch), Margaret Hamilton (as the Wicked Witch), Charley Grapewin, "The Munchkins", and Toto too! Note that MGM was worried about how well this movie would do at the box office, and they did something we don't remember seeing on any other major movie advertising! One of the taglines says "Biggest sensation since Snow White", which means MGM was advertising a Walt Disney movie, but that shows just how worried they were! Of course, they needn't have worried, because this was a timeless classic that has only improved with age. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these are NOT regular Mexican lobby cards. They are printed on a different paper stock and are generally in much better condition and much "newer" looking than regular Mexican lobby cards (and the inset images on each card is almost always a great scene!). The ones that have surfaced are also all from "better" movies (many classic movies), and there are only five cards or seven cards in each set. Therefore, we believe that they were almost surely created in the 1990s or after, and likely were sold directly to non-collectors (similar to Portal Publications commercial reprints in the U.S.). However, it is also possible that they were used when these classic movies were shown in theaters, but almost surely in the 1990s or after. DO NOT BID ON THESE THINKING THEY ARE FROM WHEN THE MOVIES CAME OUT! Also note that these Mexican lobby cards measure 12 3/4" x 17" [32 x 43 cm]. Condition: very good to fine.
