A 1949 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #6 (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Wizard of Oz, the classic 1939 Victor Fleming family magical fantasy adventure musical ("MGM's miracle musical show of shows!"; "It's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor triumph!"; "Magnificent in its brilliant Technicolor splendor!"; "At Last It's Here Biggest Sensation Since "Snow White"!"; "The mighty miracle show that is the talk of America!"; "Amazing sights to see! The Tornado, Munchkinland, Horse of a Different Color, Startling Balloon Ascent, The Flying Monkeys, The Tree That Throws Apples"; "Gaiety! Glory! Glamour!"; based on the classic book of the same name by L. Frank Baum; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Judy Garland (as Dorothy), Frank Morgan (in the title role as The Wizard of Oz!), Ray Bolger (as The Scarecrow), Bert Lahr (as The Cowardly Lion), Jack Haley (as The Tin Man), Billie Burke (as Glinda, the Good Witch), Margaret Hamilton (as the Wicked Witch), Charley Grapewin, "The Munchkins", and Toto too! Note that MGM was worried about how well this movie would do at the box office, and they did something we don't remember seeing on any other major movie advertising! One of the taglines says "Biggest sensation since Snow White", which means MGM was advertising a Walt Disney movie, but that shows just how worried they were! Of course, they needn't have worried, because this was a timeless classic that has only improved with age. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. There are approximately 21 very tiny pinholes in the top center of the image. Fortunately, they are not very noticeable at all, and a couple are in the Scarecrow's forehead and a few are in his hat, and the rest are in the background above him. There are three tiny pinholes in the top left corner, and four tiny pinholes in the top right corner. There are some very faint vertical creases and one faint horizontal crease 2" from the bottom of the image, but they are all truly barely noticeable at all, and are much more seen from the back of the card than from the front. There is a tiny scratch mark in the Lion's fur to the right of Dorothy's arm and a few faint scuff marks in the image. This great card is completely unrestored, and I would think most collectors would be quite happy to display it as is. Of course, any talented restorer could perform tiny touch up to the minor defects outlined above, but given that the card is currently completely unrestored, and has no restoration of any kind, I would think most collectors would prefer to leave it as is.
