Important Added Info: Note that during the gel-backing process (see below), the card slightly "stretched", and it now measures 11" x 14 1/4" (this happens sometimes when items are restored). 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: very good. The card had a few tiny pinholes in the borders and two tiny pinholes in the right of the "M" of the title. It had a few smudges around the edges. Overall, the card was in very good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
