Important Added Info: Note that first release lobby cards from this Boris Karloff movie are incredibly rare (likely because the movie was quickly re-released in the early 1940s). This is the very first time we have auctioned a first release lobby card from this movie! 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: good. There are lots of scuffs and stains in the shadow and a stain in the face of one of the girls that extends down through her dress (see our image). There are pinholes and tears around the edges, with a stain in the right of the top border. There is a 4 1/2" tear in the lower left border that has clear tape on the back of it. It is quite likely that much or all of the staining can be removed chemically, so after restoration, the card will look great, and likely require little, if any, paint restoration. But bear the card's defects (and the cost of restoration) in mind before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
