Important Added Info: Note that this is a set of hand-colored cards. In the days of silent movies prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have lobby cards printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Condition: fair. paper loss in the upper left corner of each card (see the image below); it looks like some animal took a giant bite out of each card! smudges and light water staining throughout each card (mostly around the edges); a few tack holes around the edges of each card Learn More about condition grades
