Note that this lobby card is one of a collection of 38 excellent Abbott and Costello lobby cards eMoviePoster is selling this week on eBay! This collection was assembled by a collector over many years. It includes original and re-issue cards, but almost every card is in very nice condition, and is one of the better scenes from that movie. The reason there are re-issues included is because the re-issues for Abbott and Costello movies often contain far better shots of them than do the original lobby cards. It is rare that so many fine Abbott and Costello lobby cards are offered at one time! Be sure to look at the other 37 lobby cards we are offering (all as separate items).
