Important Added Info: Note that director Alfred Hitchcock loved to make tiny cameo appearances in his movies. He started doing it occasionally in his 1920s English movies. But when he moved to America in 1940, he made a cameo appearance in every one of his movies, starting with Rebecca. But these appearances were not captured in the lobby cards for his movies, except in the case of "The Wrong Man", where the #6 lobby card prominently shows Hitchcock as a patron in the background of a diner where Henry Fonda is eating. This card is highly prized by Alfred Hitchcock collectors! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had a large piece of tape on the back of the right of the credits area, starting at the word "in" and continuing into the right border, and it had darkened the front in that area. There were some pinholes and smudges around the rest of the card. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and did a nice job repairing the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
