Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been personally autographed by director Robert Wise! Also note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 19". Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. Someone neatly trimmed 3" from the blank play dates area at the top of the card. The card was displayed on a wall with a thumb tack in each corner, and the entire card has darkened somewhat, except where the thumb tacks were. Otherwise, the card is in pretty good condition! The card has never had any restoration or tape on the front or back. Learn More about condition grades
