Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by Kirk Douglas! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: good to very good. The card has slightly darkened and there are some faint smudges in parts of the blank borders, as well as a tiny tear in the right of the bottom blank border. Other than the above, the card is in pretty good condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
