Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card measures 10 3/4" x 13 5/8" [27 x 35 cm], but it has not been trimmed. UPDATED 04/28/2011: Note that there was a typo in the Important Added Info section which indicated that this card had not been trimmed (the trimmed information was clearly stated in the Overall Condition section.) This has been corrected. Condition: fair to good. The top and right borders were neatly and partially trimmed, and the card now measures 10 3/4" x 13 5/8". The card has pinholes, smudges, and small stains around the edges. There is what appears to be paint in the right of the top and bottom borders. There is a light "wave" across the upper center of the card (it is not at all a crease). There are approximately 12 tiny pinholes scattered in the image area (one falls at the left of Bogart's mouth, but the others are not in the stars' faces, although there are a few in their clothes). Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Obviously, this great card has many defects, but it is fortunate that the majority of them are in the borders or in solid colored areas. Certainly, a talented restorer could paperback this card, and after proper restoration, the card will look great, and there won't be much restoration needed within the image area. But please do not bid on this great card unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
