Note that the advertising for this movie states that "3,000 actors spend 3 months on a location 80 miles from the railroad. 1,000 Indians were used and the livestock included 600 oxen, 1,000 horses, and 500 mules"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. The card had an oval area of major staining in the left of the top of the card, mostly in the blank border and yellow background area, but extending into the top of the "JAM" of "JAMES". There were tiny similar areas in the yellow background under the right of the top credit and in the top of the right border. There was some paper loss in the bottom right corner and near the center of the top blank border. Some restorer repaired those areas from the back and then did touch up to the front. You can still see signs of the restoration, but it is not all that distracting. Other than the above defects, the card was in surprisingly nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
