Auction History Result 9j0567 BEHIND THE MASK TC 1932 Jack Holt & Constance Cummings, Boris Karloff billed, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/3/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Behind the Mask, the 1932 John Francis Dillon medical doctor crime thriller (about a federal agent who goes undercover in jail to trap some drug smuggling crooks led by a dishonest doctor) starring Jack Holt, Boris Karloff, Constance Cummings, Claude King, Bertha Mann, Edward van Sloan, and Willard Robertson. Note that this movie was made before "Frankenstein" was released, but was released afterwards, but apparently, the movie paper had already been created, or else Karloff would surely have had much larger billing, and he does not appear on the one-sheet, and he may only appear on scene lobby cards or stills! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a one-sheet (30 years ago), a pressbook (17 years ago), a glass slide (16 years ago), a scene lobby card, and two stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this title card (and we were also consigned a great scene card with Karloff, which we are auctioning in a separate auction)! 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had some pinholes, tears, and some tiny bits of paper loss around the edges, with a few small brown dot stains scattered throughout the image. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. 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, 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. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
