Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned eight lobby cards from this movie, but we have never before auctioned THIS card, which has a wonderful close up of Chevalier with both Hopkins AND Colbert! 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had a few tiny pinholes and smudges around the edges, with small paper loss in the top right corner. It had a few dot stains scattered in the image, including slightly in the stars' faces. Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
