One of the other three was auctioned in 1990, and that was in "very good" condition, and it sold for $1,650. The fourth one was auctioned in 2007, and it was in exceptional condition, and it auctioned for $9,600! The fourth example was also auctioned in 2007, and it was trimmed to 8 1/4" x 10 1/4", and the person who purchased that example in 2007 had the missing areas of the card restored, and now they have consigned it to us! Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had been trimmed to 8 1/4" x 10 1/4" (see above). This means that the most important portions of the image were all present, and also most of the title. Overall, the portion of card that was present was in pretty nice condition prior to paperbacking, other than the trimming. A really talented restorer recreated all the missing areas. From any reasonable viewing distance, it displays well, but when you look closely at the card, you can clearly see exactly what was recreated. Please look at our super-sized image and bear all of the above in mind before bidding on this card. Learn More about condition grades
