Important Added Info: 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. Prior to paperbacking, the card had been displayed, and the reds in the card had faded considerably. It also had pinholes and a few tears around the edges, with paper loss in the top left blank corner. Overall, the lobby card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. The card was backed pretty well, but the restorer did not attempt to address the fading issue, which is very significant. Learn More about condition grades
