Important Added Info: 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. Condition: good to very good. The card was "starch backed", which means that it was moistened with a special starch solution, attached to a backing, allowed to dry, and then the card had touch up while it was backed, and afterward, the backing was removed. This particular card had an oval area of paper loss in the right of the top border that included part of the man's hat and the green background to the right of it. It had a few pinholes around the edges and paper loss in the right blank corners. The card was starch backed by a talented professional and expert restoration was performed to the above defects. The card displays well (you can see signs of the restoration in the top area, but it is not very distracting at all), and best of all, it still completely looks and feels like an unrestored lobby card!
