NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. The entire card has darkened, more so around the edges (typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards). There are pinholes, smudges, and stains around the edges, with a few small tears. There was a 1" tear near the middle of the right border that was repaired with paper tape from the back. Someone put slight touch up paint on the pinholes, but that was many years ago. It is quite possible that the card can be lightened through chemical means, and certainly, a restorer can touch up the border defects, and after restoration, the card will display great (although I can also imagine many collectors displaying it just as it is!
