NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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. Part of the top blank border was lightly partially folded back at one time. Note that the card has a very minor printing defect, which is a series of faint light red and blue lines down the left edge of the left blank border. This was a very minor printing defect that occurred during the printing of these cards, and it is found on many 1950s and early 1960s lobby cards, and few collectors consider it much of a defect at all, because it is in the left edge of the blank border, has no effect on the image, and would likely be on all examples of this lobby card. There is a diagonal crease in the bottom right corner. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
