Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by Robert Young! Note that Mr. Young was nearly 90 when he signed this card, and he started to sign his name right in the center of the card, but then he saw that it was unreadable, and he signed it in the bottom border (and he wrote "This one escapes me", meaning that he had no memory of the movie at all!). About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 32 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and sometimes he would find second or third celebrities to autograph an item he already had gotten signed! In addition, he would ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. He would also purchase books by or about movie stars, and he would take those when he would meet those stars in person and have the stars autograph the title page. So all of these 33 autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from the Larry Edmunds Bookshop, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Note that each of the 33 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: good to very good. There is tiny paper loss in the top right corner, a 1" tear in the lower right border, and a stain in the bottom left corner. Learn More about condition grades
