Note that after Robby the Robot appeared in this movie, he had another movie role in "The Invisible Boy", and then he appeared in a slightly modified version as the robot in TV's "Lost in Space". On November 21, 2017, the original "Robby the Robot" was auctioned, and it sold for $5.375 million! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this set of lobby cards (and 64 others we are auctioning in separate auctions) has a great provenance! Johnny Crawford, who first came to fame as the son in the TV series "The Rifleman" and later became a band leader loved movies, and early on he collected many lobby cards and more. This set of lobby cards was consigned to us from his collection! Note also that we usually do not photograph the back of lobby cards in this particular auction, however due to the value of the cards in this group, we have an image of both the front and the back of them, which should greatly help you see what defects they have. Condition: good to very good. Each of the cards has tiny pinholes around the edges. Card #4 has slight discoloration on the back and front due to exposure to moisture (mostly noticeable on front at upper left and in the left blank border.) The image has a few scuff marks in Francis' dress at left and at lower right. Card #6 has a line of slight discoloration at left and at lower center with some partial horizontal creases at upper center of the image. Card #5 has a few light scuffs and a few faint smudges around the edges but is otherwise in pretty nice condition. The cards have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind, and please see our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of both the fronts and backs of the cards (see above) prior to placing a bid.
