Flash Gordon, the classic 1936 Frederick Stephani science fiction (sci-fi) serial ("The first great serial spectacle!"; "The Gigantic Serial Spectacle! 13 Chapters of Strange World Adventures"; "Syndicated by King Features"; "From Alex Raymond's famous newspaper comic strip"; "13 Thrilling Chapters!") starring Buster Crabbe (in the title role "as Flash Gordon"; the 1932 Olympic swimming champion who is most famous for this role and as "Buck Rogers" in the Universal serials), Jean Rogers ("as Dale Arden"), Charles Middleton ("as Emperor Ming" [Ming the Merciless]), Priscilla Lawson ("as Aura"), Frank Shannon ("as Dr. Zarkov"), Jack 'Tiny' Lipson (billed as "John Lipson as Vultan"), Richard Alexander ("as Prince Barin"), James Pierce, Duke Ford Jr., Theodore Lorch, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the man in the really fake ape "Orangopoid" suit!). Note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! Also note that this classic science fiction serial was also released in 1936, in a feature version (approximately 73 minutes, and condensed from all the separate chapters joined together). Universal created posters and lobby cards for all the chapters of the serial version, and also created additional posters and a set of lobby cards for the feature version.

Important Added Info: Note that there were 13 different lobby sets for the different chapters, and only one set for the feature version, so the cards from the feature version would figure to be far more rare than those from the serial version (because there were far less of them made). And this is certainly true when it comes to our auctions! We have previously auctioned 57 lobby cards from the different chapters (title cards and scene cards), but we have only once before (19 years ago) auctioned ANY lobby cards from this feature version, and it was a full set auctioned by the card, and those eight cards sold for between $540 and $2,650 (for the title card). Now we have been consigned five scene cards from the feature version, and we are auctioning them in five separate auctions, and they are the only cards from the feature version we have auctioned other than that complete set 19 years ago! 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.
