An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Richard Tregaskis' Guadalcanal Diary, the 1943 Lewis Seiler World War II (WWII) military Pacific Islands action thriller starring Preston Foster, Lloyd Nolan, William Bendix, Richard Conte, Anthony Quinn, Richard Jaeckel (16 years old and in his first movie!), and Ralph Byrd. Note that director Lewis Seiler had an interesting background! Starting in 1923, he directed a series of around a dozen movies for William Fox, each using chimps acting in "human" roles. After that, he stayed with William Fox and worked on some of the Tom Mix movies, and then switched to Warner Bros., and was involved in some of their gangster movies, like Crime School. In 1943, he directed this movie, which is widely considered one of the very best Hollywood movies about World War II, made during the war! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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. We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction! Condition: good. There are pinholes and paper loss in the corners, with stains scattered throughout. There are a few tape repairs on the back. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Learn More about condition grades
