Rushmore!"; "Written by Ernest Lehman") starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Jessie Royce Landis, Leo G. Carroll, Martin Landau, Edward Platt, and Phillip Ober NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: fine. The cards are in REALLY excellent condition! The title card is virtually like new, as are the #3 through #8 scene cards. The #2 card (the crop-dusting scene) has creases and faint smudges around the edges, and a pinhole in each corner (obviously, the person who owned this set took out this card, because it is the most classic scene, and pinned it to the wall, which resulted in it acquiring some defects!). None of the cards have any writing of any sort on either side, and they are completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the cards. I would think most collectors could accept the #2 card "as is" (because its defects are truthfully not very noticeable), and certainly, if it were restored (which could be done without backing it), the faint smudges could be removed, and the creases could be greatly lessened. The other seven cards, of course, are virtually perfect, and no one could possibly ask for better examples of them! Learn More about condition grades
