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 to very good. The card has darkened somewhat, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. It had pinholes and tears around the edges, with some faint smudges and stains scattered in the image, including in Davis' face and arm. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. The card was "starch backed", which means that it was moistened with a special starch solution, attached to a backing, allowed to dry, and then the card had touch up while it was backed, and afterward, the backing was removed. The card was starch backed by a talented professional and expert restoration was performed to the above defects. The card was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
