Important Added Info: Note that we have seen lobby cards for this movie that have a 1932 copyright in the bottom left corner, and others that have a 1933 copyright. This is because the movie premiered in New York City in November 1932 and in Los Angeles in December 1932, but did not play in the rest of the country until February 1933 (this was common practice for major movies at this time). So there were lobby cards printed at the end of 1932 and also at the beginning of 1933, and this is one of the cards that was printed in 1932. 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. The card was mounted to a heavy board. Someone tried to remove the board by peeling it away from the back, and they succeeded in doing it in parts of the borders, but they caused the card to crack and tear in the top 1/2", so they stopped. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. The card could be displayed as it is, or a professional could certainly remove it from the board and repair the damage caused by the previous attempt at removing it. Learn More about condition grades
