I wonder about the ol' boy (or girl) who originally stashed these in the barn.
Whoever they were, they had a pretty good eye.

Just wondering how this type of damage is repaired? Looks like besides the
missing pieces of paper and holes, there is some type of sunlight/heat damage
as well.
These kinds of finds are very interesting. You hear about old cars that are
found in barns, but not so much old movie paper.

That Frankie card is a treasure in that condition as they don't show
to often. So congrats to Bruce and eMovieposter auctions for such
great offering.
Should do really well.
Cheers,
dario.

Those are some great cards. I sold (in the eighties)
the W.C. Fields card from IT'S A GIFT for
over $3500. Material on the title is remarkably scarce for
some reason. We had two one sheets
from a great Canadian find, and those went for about $8500 as
I remember.
Probably the best W.C. Fields movie, and that's a good lot!

Note that this lobby card (and nine
others we are offering this week) were literally found
in a barn, where they had been for the past 78 years!
Each of the ten cards have MAJOR condition defects, so
we have provided scans of both the front of the card and
the back of the card, which allow you to clearly see
exactly what condition the cards are in. We are not
going to describe them, because you can see what is
wrong with them from our images. Note that all of the
cards have darkened to different degrees, and all of
them are extremely fragile. But certainly, a talented
restorer can paperback the card, and after proper
restoration, the card will look nice, but it will surely
be expensive to restore, and will have somewhat of a
"restored" look after restoration, so bear all of this
in mind before you place a bid on any of these cards!
