Important Added Info: Note that Universal horror lobby cards from their top 1930s movies is extremely expensive. But the lobby cards from the three Warner Bros. early 1930s horror movies, The Mystery of the Wax Museum, Dr. X, and The Walking Dead, are FAR more rare than the Universal lobby cards! Why are these cards so rare? This is likely because there was a 1944 re-release, and likely the leftover 1936 movie paper was used up during that re-release. In all the years we have been auctioning, we have only previously auctioned five 1936 lobby cards, and like this one, all were in much lesser condition. Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 10 1/2" x 13 1/4" [27 x 34 cm]. 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: fair to good. The card had much of its blank borders trimmed off (see our image). It was used in Denmark, and there is an embossed Danish stamp in the lower right of the image. There are pinholes in the corners and some tears around the edges. There are many smudges and scuffs scattered through the card, including a diagonal one across the upper center of the image, running above Karloff's head. Please do not bid on this card unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. 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
