Important Added Info: Note that we auctioned this exact same card in November of 2015, and it sold for $525. The buyer of the card had expert restoration performed to its border defects (see below for exactly what was done), and has now re-consigned it. This is the very same card, and we have never auctioned another example of this card! 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 paper loss in the top left corner that extended slightly into the blue border, but did not affect the lettering. It had a faint circular stain in the top right blank corner and two tiny pinholes in the top blank border, and three in the bottom blank border. There was a faint partial diagonal crease in the bottom left corner and a tiny tear in the right of the bottom border. There were remnants of three small pieces of paper tape on the back of parts of the borders. Other than the above defects, the card was in really nice condition! The owner of the card chose to have restoration performed to the above slight defects, and a REALLY talented restorer did the work. They did NOT back the card, and they restored the missing paper in the top left corner incredibly expertly, where you can't tell what was done by looking at the front of the card (unless you stare at it from inches away), and the other minor defects were also expertly touched up. The card was in nice condition prior to restoration, and it is even nicer now, and it truly had slight restoration, and I can't imagine anyone who would not be thrilled to display this great card!
