Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 13 years ago. The buyer of that window card has now reconsigned it to us after all these years, so it is still the only example of this window card we have ever auctioned! Bizarrely, in our 31 years of auctioning, we have NEVER auctioned a window card from this movie, except for this exact one! WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY RARE, BUT IT CLEARLY IS, GIVEN THAT WE HAVE AUCTIONED LOTS OF EVERY OTHER SIZE ON THIS MOVIE! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]. Condition: fair. Someone decided to use this window card as a backing board for a frame, and they neatly trimmed it in half, only using the top half of the window card! It now measures 11" x 14". Much of the image and the title area is missing, but the part that remains is in good condition. If someone has a complete window card with a damaged top area, this incomplete window card would be a godsend to them, and of course, the image is basically the same as the one-sheet, so any talented restorer could re-create the missing half of the card by using the bottom of the one-sheet image. In any event, please do not bid on this window card unless you realize you are only buying the top half of the window card! Learn More about condition grades
