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.

Condition: fair. There are several tape repairs on the back of tears in the card. There were three areas of paper loss in the blank borders and someone taped pieces of another card to the back of those areas. There are pencil marks in the faces of the stars, and there are several other defects scattered in the card. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Note that the white tape on the back that our consignor used to repair some or all of the tears is Filmoplast P90 acid free conservation paper tape, which is recommended by all restorers for such repairs.
