Important Added Info: Note that lobby cards from this classic Bette Davis/William Wyler movie are extremely rare. In all our years of auctioning, we have only ever auctioned two cards (and oddly, they were the exact same scene card, but different examples!). However, we have now been consigned a complete set, and we are delighted to discover that it contains many wonderful scenes! The buyer of this auction will pretty much have "cornered the market" on lobby cards from this title. We last auctioned a card from it seven years ago, and it is quite possible it will be another seven years before we next auction even one more lobby card! Condition: very good. All the cards have darkened somewhat, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. However, they are not at all fragile or brittle, which is a big plus. All of the cards have creases in the top right corner, but they are pretty faint. They have pinholes around the edges, with a few of the cards having small tears in the borders. See our super-sized images to see exactly where these minor defects are located. But other than what is written above, the cards are in surprisingly nice condition, and they will look incredible on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
