A Complete Set of 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]; seven of the cards are autographed; see below) (Learn More) Harvey, the classic 1950 Henry Koster mental illness fantasy comedy ("The wonderful Pulitzer Prize play... Becomes one of the great motion pictures of our time!"; "From the play written by Mary Chase"; about a man and his attempt to have people come to terms with his 6 foot, imaginary rabbit named Harvey; his sister tries to have him committed, but is he insane, or is Harvey somehow "real"?) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Josephine Hull (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Charles Drake, Cecil Kellaway, Jesse White, Victoria Horne, Wallace Ford, Peggy Dow, and Clem Bevans NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that SEVEN these lobby cards have been personally autographed (signed). FIVE were signed by James Stewart, who also added a "signature" for Harvey (he used a different color pen for Harvey's signature on each card, to make it more look like "Harvey" really signed each himself!), and THREE were signed by Jessie White. The title card was signed by BOTH stars and card #4 (the card with the painting of Stewart and Harvey) was not signed at all. These autographs were obtained from the estate of a new consignor to eMoviePoster.com, who recently passed away. He started collecting mostly lobby cards and stills in the late 1960s, and he hit on the idea that he could get a lot of them signed, because he knew that many of the stars were still alive, but that many of them lived in the Motion Picture Home run by the Academy, and he visited there many times, becoming friendly with a number of the stars there. He also was able to meet other older stars, and acquired most of his signatures in person, although a few were acquired through the mail. He went out of his way to obtain signed items from his favorite films and stars, which included It's a Wonderful Life and Harvey (because he became friends with Jimmy Stewart). He was also friends with Moe Howard and Larry Fine, and he obtained many signatures on items from their films, which he loved, and he also was friends with Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and most of the Munchkins, because he especially loved The Wizard of Oz! His family does not have certificates of authenticity for any of his items, but they do have multiple pictures of him with the stars who signed for him, and we are 100% certain that the items we are auctioning from his collection were personally signed by the stars! Know that we are not "autograph experts"! We strongly suggest that all bidders do whatever research they want to do about the autographs BEFORE placing bids (such as comparing the signatures to other known signatures found on the Internet). But we also know how hard it is to be certain of an autograph's authenticity when you are not seeing the item in person. So, to make certain that we only have satisfied buyers, we will give anyone who purchases any of these a 30 day return privilege (from the date the auction closes) on any of these autographed items, and of course, that gives every buyer plenty of time to be 100% certain that they have purchased a genuine autograph! But realize that you can't return items AFTER 30 days (from the auction's closing), so be sure to do whatever checking and authenticating you need to do either before the auction ends, or within the 30 days. Condition: very good. The title card has smudges scattered in the bottom credits area, in the middle left, and in the top right corner. There is a 1/2" tear in the upper right border. This card is in "good to very good" condition, but it certainly could have those smudges removed (likely through chemical means), after which it will look incredible. Five of the scene cards are in "very good" condition and two are in "good to very good" condition. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of these cards. I would think many collectors would be happy to keep these exactly as they are, or certainly, restoration can be performed with the three that are in less than very good condition. Whatever the new owner decides to do, they will be VERY happy to be the owner of all these wonderful cards! Learn More about condition grades
