Important Added Info: Note that we believe that only 4 lobby cards were created for this re-release, and this is the complete set. It was quite common for studios to only make sets of four for short subjects or low budget movies (or re-releases of big budget movies), because it allowed them to print the sets at half the cost, and on shorts and low budget movies, they tried to save money any way they could (especially since it is likely few theaters even bothered to order lobby cards for these titles, since they were likely shown in addition to a better movie). We have only auctioned two of these cards before! Condition: good to very good. The cards are in pretty nice condition, except that the card with Greenwood holding the bow has diagonal scuff marks across the center, and the one with the montage of images of Guinness has a faint horizontal scuff mark across the upper part. We don't know if these are printing defects or were acquired after the cards were printed. The card with the bow has some brown dot stains scattered at upper left. Learn More about condition grades
