Date Sold 4/2/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Call of the Wild, the 1935 William A. Wellman Alaska Yukon canine dog adventure gambling romantic melodrama ("Clark Gable portrays his most virile role in Darryl Zanuck's production"; "Based on the story by Jack London", but with a greatly expanded romance that wasn't in the book) starring Clark Gable, Loretta Young, Jack Oakie, Reginald Owen, Frank Conroy, and Buck (the St. Bernard dog!). Note that while making this movie, married Clark Gable had an affair (or was it rape?) with unmarried Loretta Young, and she became pregnant, and because it would have ruined both their careers, she took a year off and returned with an "adopted" baby!

Important Added Info: 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. We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction! Condition: good to very good. There are some tape repairs on the back of pinholes and tears in the borders. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card.
