Important Added Info: Note that oddly, this lobby card is unnumbered, but we know that other cards in this set were numbered. Perhaps this was simply a mistake (we have seen this occur with other sets). Condition: good to very good. The posters and lobby cards on this title are almost always found with snipes or glue stains over one of the two movies that were shown as part of the double bill, because many theaters receiving this poster only showed one of the two movies, and covered over the part of the poster the related to the other movie. There IS very faint glue residue over the "Son of Frankenstein" title, but it is quite faint and really is only noticeable when the card is tilted to the light. Someone put two pencil marks on the cheek of the man at right (I do not know if they can be removed without leaving any trace, and it is likely that they cannot). Other than the above noted defects, the card is in pretty nice condition. 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! Learn More about condition grades
