Prior to paperbacking, the card had some pinholes, small stains, and tiny areas of paper loss in the borders, but few defects of any sort in the image area. Overall, the lobby card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was well backed, but at some point after it was backed, it was roughly handled and there is now a faint uneven partial horizontal crease across the bottom 2" of most of the center of the card, running from the "C" of "DRACULA" into the lower part of Lugosi's face. It truly is not very noticeable at all from the front of the card. There are two horizontal scuff marks, which may have occurred after the card was backed in the lower right at the top and bottom of the skeleton head, with the lower one extending into the bottom of Lugosi's face. The card really does display quite nicely, but certainly, any talented restorer could perform slight additional restoration, either with or without re-backing the card, if the new owner desired it.
