Stone, Ray Turner, Gladden James, Bob Kortman, and Blue Washington NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: 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: fair to good. There are some faint smudges and stains scattered throughout the card. The card had tears and tiny paper loss down the left edge, with a 5" tear and tiny paper loss in the left of the bottom border, and a few pinholes scattered in the card, and someone put tape on the back of those areas.
