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. Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, around one half of each blank border was trimmed off. The card had many stains scattered throughout. Overall, the lobby card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. Given the card's very significant defects, the person who restored it did a pretty good job, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Be sure to look at our super-sized images before bidding on this card.
