Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three lobby cards from this movie, and this was one of those three cards that has been re-consigned to us, and it certainly has the best image of them. One of the other two cards we auctioned had the same image as this card, but that one was folded down the middle, and this one is not. 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. Condition: good to very good. The card has two tiny circular punch holes in the top and a few smudges around the edges. It has a faint V-shaped crease in the center of the background to the right of the image. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
