Important Added Info: Note that this title card has been very slightly trimmed and now measures 10 3/4" x 14 1/8". 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. Condition: fair to good. The card had stains and smudges throughout and there were creases, pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the card. Someone paperbacked the card and did much restoration to the image, and you can see signs of it, even from a distance. For unknown reasons, the restorer did not exactly fill out the borders, and the card measures 10 3/4" x 14 1/8". Learn More about condition grades
