NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: fair. The card was used in another country and the title is written in another language in the top blank border. There are many smudges, stains, pinholes, areas of paper loss, and surface paper loss around the edges of the card, and some of that extends into the artwork and title, and there is a water stain in the bottom center of the card that extends up into the lower half of Abbott's face. There is a 3" scuff mark in the top center of the card that extends down into the right edge of Lugosi's face, and into his cheek. There are many water stains scattered on the back of the card, and the card has had no restoration of any kind. Of course, this card has very major defects, but it is also true that many of them are in the borders and blank background areas, and a talented restorer can surely paperback this card, and after proper restoration, the card will look great. But please do not bid on this card unless you have carefully read the above and carefully studied our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
