Important Added Info: Note that 1930 first release posters and lobby cards from this movie are incredibly rare. We have previously auctioned a rotogravure one-sheet (which sold for $1,300) and some jumbo lobby cards until we were consigned this lobby card and a different lobby card, which we are auctioning in a separate auction. 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. Condition: very good. The card had paper loss in the bottom corners. In the bottom left corner, it was approximately 1/2" x 1/2" and only blank white paper was affected. In the bottom right corner, it was slightly larger, and it cut off the very tip of the blue corner. There was also a crease in the bottom left corner of the image, slightly affecting the bridge, with slight separation on that crease. There was a small crease in the top left blank corner, and a tinier crease in the top right blank corner. Some restorer replaced the missing paper in the bottom corners without backing the card, and they also performed slight restoration to the other blank corners. Other than the above, the card was in really excellent condition prior to restoration! Learn More about condition grades
