If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this mini window card, and that was 18 years ago! Note that this is one of a wonderful collection of 36 ultra rare mini window cards we were consigned, which we are currently auctioning in 36 separate auctions! If you don't know already, mini window cards (which were made by the studios to serve as "mini posters" that could be displayed in small areas where larger posters could not) are similar in size to lobby cards, except that they measure 8" x 14" rather than 11" x 14", and they have a vertical orientation, with a blank top where theaters could put their play dates like with 14x22 window cards. But they are many, many times more rare than title lobby cards, or even regular window cards! Likely, this is because most theaters did not order these, but there could be another reason. We are not overstating this massive rarity difference! For example, we have auctioned around 20,000 14x22 window cards, and around 35,000 title lobby cards, but fewer than FIVE HUNDRED of these mini window cards! Every other hobby puts a massive premium on extreme rarity, and it seems that it will be just a matter of time before our hobby does the same with mini window cards! Perhaps it is their extreme rarity that causes many collectors to be unaware of them, but that is sure to change as well! This is a rare opportunity to purchase any of 36 mini window cards at one time! Condition: good to very good. The card had paper loss in the bottom right corner, entering a tiny bit of the background and the bottom of the red border, affecting the text under that. Someone taped a piece of another card to that area and also put tape on the back of the tinier paper loss in the bottom left corner and a piece of tape on the back of the top left corner, where there was a tear.
