NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a board backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original lobby card (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: very good. The card had creases, smudges, pinholes, some tiny tears, and some tiny paper loss around the edges of the card. There was a rough horizontal crease in the middle of the left half of the card running through Abbott & Costello's credit. There were some smudges and stains in the purple area in Frankenstein's chest and a few minor defects scattered through the image. The card was really expertly restored. It appears the borders have had thin new paper laid over them, but it is really not at all noticeable. You can see slight signs of restoration in the image, and signs of the creases in the middle left when you look at the card from inches away, but from any distance, they are really not noticeable. The card HAS had significant expert restoration, so please do not bid on it, unless you have read the above carefully, and have looked closely at our super-sized image. The card displays great, and would look fantastic on any collector's wall! Learn More about condition grades
