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. Condition: very good. There is light water staining in the right of the bottom border and in the lower right blank border, but it is barely noticeable from the front of the card (see our images of the front and back). Otherwise, the card only had a few very minor border defects. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
