Warner (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Chang), and Sam Jaffe (as the "High Lama") NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of one jumbo lobby card (not one offered here), and the last time we auctioned one was 27 years ago (and those three sales may well have been the exact same card re-auctioned twice)! Now we are currently auctioning this group of three jumbo lobby cards, which have different images than the previous one we auctioned. Note that this card has been "gel backed". What does that mean? It means that a talented restorer backed the card onto a gel material, and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, and afterward the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. Many collectors prefer this method of restoration to paperbacking or linenbacking, because with those methods the card no longer looks like it was not backed. Gel backing can't be used with cards that have major paper loss or other major defects, but for the cards it can be used on, it is really an excellent method of restoration! What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. Each of the cards had some border defects and a talented professional performed border restoration through gel-backing the cards, and they did an excellent job, and the jumbo lobby cards display really well, and they look and feel like unrestored cards, except when you look at them super closely.
