Important Added Info: 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. Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. Note that someone trimmed this card to 8" x 10" (the bulk of the image). That means that all of the title and border areas had been trimmed off, as was the top of the image (affecting the old lady's hair) and the left edge of the image (affecting Rathbone's back), and also the right of the image (affecting the girl's arm and Lugosi's arm). There was only a tiny bit trimmed from the bottom of the image. A talented restorer recreated the borders and the missing border areas of the image described above. There were some scuffs in the top left of the card in the woman's shoulder, just touching the top of Rathbone and the boy's hair. The restoration was well performed, and the card displays well from a reasonable viewing distance, but the card has had major restoration and it is noticeable when you look at it very close up, so bear this in mind before bidding on this very cool and very rare card!
