Important Added Info: Note that first release posters from this movie are beyond scarce! We auctioned the wonderful one-sheet from it 15 years ago, and it auctioned for $7,799, but otherwise, we have only had scene lobby cards and no other posters. This title card, which we have never had before, has a great image of Powell pointing a gun from behind curtains! 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. The lobby card was used in another country and they overprinted the back with much writing, but it does not show through to the front. The front of the card has darkened in much of the left border. The left of the top border had paper loss that slightly extended into the top edge of the background. There are smudges, stains, and some tiny surface paper loss around the edges, with a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image, including in Powell's face (see our image). Someone once performed restoration to the top border and also put small tape on the back of staple holes in the center of the top and bottom borders, but did no other restoration. Obviously, this great card could be professionally restored, and after proper restoration, it will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
