Important Added Info: Note that this is one of eight different incomplete sets of lobby cards (each in their own auction) where the owner chose to have each of the cards linenbacked. This is not often done by collectors, but it is a reasonable way to improve the appearance of cards that need restoration, although many restorers nowadays paperback lobby cards instead. Please bear in mind that these cards have been linenbacked, and that there is a thin strip of excess linen around each edge of the card so while the cards measure 11" x 14" the cards plus the linen measure slightly larger. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Some of the cards had some scuffing. Overall, the cards were mostly in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The cards were well backed and display well! Learn More about condition grades
