Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this 1946 re-release title card (which has an great different image of Kong holding Fay Wray, that was used on the 1938 re-release one-sheet, but not on any first release movie paper), and that was 16 years ago, when it sold for $2,225! 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The card had pinholes in the corners and paper loss in the bottom left blank corner and in the top right corner, just slightly touching the edge of the background. Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
