An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Michael Shayne: Private Detective, the 1940 Eugene Forde mystery gambling comedy ("Laugh and thrill with fiction's favorite new sleuth.") starring Lloyd Nolan (in the title role as Michael Shayne), Marjorie Weaver, Joan Valerie, Walter Abel, Elizabeth Patterson, Donald MacBride, Douglass Dumbrille, and George Meeker. Note that "Michael Shayne: Private Detective" was the first in a series of twelve detective movies based on the character created by Brett Halliday. Lloyd Nolan played the character in the first seven movies between 1940 and 1942. There was then a 4 year gap and the series resumed in 1946, with Hugh Beaumont (best remembered as the father in TV's "Leave it to Beaver") taking over the role and he starred in five movies in 1946 and 1947.

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by Lloyd Nolan (it is a vintage still from that they signed at a later date)! Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a dealer. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. 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.

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.

Condition: very good. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
