Important Added Info: Note that first release 1927 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a Swedish poster and two U.S. 8x10 stills from this movie (and nothing else) until we received this lobby card, with a great image of Fields as a sideshow barker! 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. Condition: very good. Prior to restoration, the card was in generally nice condition, except that it had stains in the top right corner that extended over Conklin's credit and slightly into the background below it. It also had two tiny tears in the top border. 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 (they were likely able to remove the staining from the front of the top right through chemical means, because it shows no signs of paint restoration), 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. From the front, you can't see signs of the restoration, and the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
