Artist: Bill Wiggins Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card is part of an amazing collection of 132 horror/sci-fi lobby cards (our items #5040 through #5171). Included are 121 title cards from 1950 to 1964, including just about every horror/sci-fi movie made during that period, including all of the most famous titles! Also included is all seven scene cards from "The Day the Earth Stood Still", and a great scene card from "House of Wax". The collector who assembled this collection did so over a span of several decades, and to duplicate it would surely take at least that long, if one started today. But on October 30th, every one of these lobby cards will go to a new owner, as all are being sold with NO reserve. Also note that we have listed these lobby cards in strict alphabetical order. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire rare lobby cards that almost never are offered for sale! Condition: very good. pair of staple holes in the Mummy's image at top as well as three pairs of staple holes in the lower center of the image background and a few around the edges of the card (including some in the border areas); tape stain in the lower right corner over the NSS info as well as some surface paper loss in the upper right blank corner; 1/2" tear in the right edge (repaired with tape from the back) and a 1/4" tear in the upper center edge as well as some creases along the top edge of the card. The entire card has darkened slightly but it is mostly only noticeable in the blank borders. This card is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Its defects are basically minor and not that noticeable except on close inspection. I would think most collectors would be happy with this card, or of course, any talented restorer could repair the defects without a lot of restoration. Learn More about condition grades
