Also note that these Swiss lobby cards were made by the distributor creating a set of identical stiff board printed backings with printed information about the movie, with a blank space for a still, and then they would attach a number of original stills to those boards, thus creating a set of Swiss lobby cards. Note that the board has metal grommets inserted into each corner, to make displaying of these Swiss lobby cards far easier. UPDATED 09/03/2012: Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that these cards are from the 1970s first release and NOT a 1980s re-release as we initially listed. Condition: good to very good. There is a snipe over the title area in each card and there are some scuff marks scattered throughout (mostly around the edges). Overall, the cards are in generally nice condition.
