Important Added Info: MGM created two different sets of personality posters in the 1930s to promote their stars. The earlier set was made in 1932, and this poster comes from that set. These posters are extremely rare as few theaters ordered them, and fewer still saved them! Condition: very good. As is typical with these MGM personality posters, there are a few minor chips out of the borders. There is a larger chip out of the bottom of the center of the poster in the lower right corner.. Note that due to the type of paper these posters were printed on, they must be sent in large flat packages. If you are from outside the United States, this poster will cost a lot to send, as the package will be very large. Please take this into account before placing a bid. If you are from inside the United States, we will only charge our normal shipping, even though it will cost us much more than that to send properly! Learn More about condition grades
