Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was first released in 1938, the lobby cards were printed on a "linen-like" paper that Warner Bros. used from the mid 1930s to the early 1940s. Toward the end of World War II, when all of their top stars were away in uniform, Warner Bros. started re-releasing many of their classic 1930s titles, but because they had switched to printing lobby cards on the regular paper stock, those re-releases can be easily distinguished from the first releases (they often have exactly the same images otherwise). This title card is from the 1945 re-release, just seven years after the original. Given that the first release title card sells for huge amounts of money, this very early re-release (with the same image) is a great alternative! Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had diagonal paper loss in the corners, just slightly touching the very edge of the image in the top corners. It had pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges, but very few defects within the image area. Overall, the lobby card was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
