Auction History Result 2m001 LOT OF 5 ENGLISH 4x5 DIE-CUT LOST CITY MINI STANDEES '20 wild animals from Selig's zoo! Date Sold 11/20/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 5 English die-cut mini standees from The Lost City (also released as "The Lost City of the African Jungles"), the 1920 E.A. Martin silent action adventure serial ("A wild animal serial of continuous thrills"; "In 15 sensational episodes") starring Juanita Hansen, George Chesebro, Frank Clark, Hector Dion, and Irene Wallace. Note that in 2015, we were consigned four cards from this series (see below), which we sold as a group, and they auctioned for $130. Earlier in 2016, we were consigned five more (different from the first ones), and those sold for $160. Now we have been consigned another five cards (different from all of the previous nine)! Sadly, all three of these lots came from the same consignor, and he had a total of 14 of the 18 cards, so there are no more after these, and since we have never seen even one from anyone else, we doubt we will ever see any more! These great die-cut cards from this very early Warner Bros. movie were part of a promotion done in English cinemas when the movie was first released. There were a total of 18 of these cards. Theatergoers were told that they should collect all 18 and then bring them back to the cinema, where they would be told how the competition worked! We suspect they were passed out on street corners like heralds. Each has an area where they could be folded near the bottom so they could be displayed as stand up displays or "mini standees". Measurements: 3 1/2" x 5 1/4"Condition: very good. Each of the promo cards was creased near the bottom to make them into "mini standees" (see above). They also have some wear around the edges but have survived pretty well, especially considering they are 95 years old! Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
