Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned many first release lobby cards from this Alfred Hitchcock movie, but we have NEVER auctioned a complete set! Also note that this auction also includes the printed envelope from Universal these cards originally came with! Condition: very good. All of the cards have creases in the top left corner, almost completely in the blank border. The title card has tiny surface paper loss in the lower right corner, and there is slight darkening around the edges of the title card only. Someone wanted to number the cards, and they put numbers from 1 to 8 in the bottom blank border. Other than these basically very minor defects, the cards are in excellent condition and are completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of any of them!
