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: good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had a diagonal crease in the top left corner that caused that portion of the card to separate. It had an area of paper loss in the top right corner, approximately 1" x 1". It had many pinholes and some small paper loss in parts of the blank borders, slightly extending into the image background in the bottom right. There was a 1 1/2" tear in the center of the top border. There was a 3" diagonal tear in the center of the bottom of the card, extending to the blanket at the girl's waist. There was a pinhole in the top of the hand of the mummy in the border image. The card had some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the lobby card was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
