Important Added Info: Note that this is an incredibly rare almost complete set of 9 photolobbies for this movie! Why do we say "almost complete"? Because we know (since this auction includes the printed bag) that it originally had 10, because that is printed on the bag. SO THIS AUCTION IS FOR NINE PHOTOLOBBIES, OUT OF THE ORIGINAL SET OF 10. Note that this auction also includes the printed envelope this item originally came with! Also note that on this classic movie, and on several other major releases of the 1950s, MGM issued two entirely different sets of lobby cards! One set was the kind that is regularly seen. The other kind was a "photolobby" set with glossier color scenes from the movie, most often entirely different from the other set, and sometimes the photolobbies were black and white photos that had been hand-colored prior to production. The photolobbies are at least as rare as the regular lobby cards! Note that in the 1930s and 1940s, MGM issued yet a third kind of color 11" x 14", called a "color glos" 11" x 14", but these were on a photo paper, whereas the 1950s photolobbies are on regular lobby card-like stock. Condition: good to very good. The photolobbies have two vertical "waves" near the center of each. They are not creases, and surely the cards could be flattened (either being put under weight for a long time, or by being made wet and then being allowed to re-dry). Otherwise, the cards have a pinhole in each corner and one has three pieces of tape on the back of the top border. Other than the above, the cards are in pretty nice condition!
