We have only auctioned a single one-sheet poster in 1993, and other than a few items like books and a glass slide we have not auctioned ANY items from it until we were consigned these 8x10 lobby cards! Note also that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Condition: good to very good. Each of the cards have pinholes and some smudges around the edges. They are otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
