Important Added Info: Note that first release 1932 movie paper from this pre-Code Joan Blondell movie is incredibly rare. We had never auctioned even a single poster (and only a scene card) from this movie until we received this title lobby card. We auctioned it on July 5, 2016, and there was a problem with the auction. There were three bidders who bid past $588, and the final price was $675. But because there was a problem with the auction, the most fair solution is to re-auction it. So THIS is that same card that we had for auction in July, and it is the only title card we have ever seen! 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. There are some is an enlarged pair of staple holes in the center of the card and some faint smudges scattered in the image. There are some faint smudges and dot stains around the edges, and there are two tears near the center of the bottom border that have tape on the back. Other than the above, the card is in pretty nice condition, and it will display well just as it is. Learn More about condition grades
