Aloha,There is some strange affliction to trimmed lobby cards within the poster community. I would say that the antique map collectors have a better grasp on collecting when it comes to trimmed items. I sell rare maps in Maui for a livingyet i only collect movie posters and lobby cards. It is
Sorry but this comparison of 1500's maps to 1930's or laterlobby cards is bollocks. A few simple factors makes it so. The sheer surface space, the age, and the rarity, jump to mind. Say a rare lobby card from The Black Cat only comes up every other year, but every year a trimmed version appears.

on a OS a few weeks ago. It was the one with their portrait, the bicycle

Hello Andrea and all...
John Kisch's MOVIE POSTER PRICE ALMANAC 2003 lists an Insert for BUTCH
CASSIDY THE SUNDANCE KID (1969) selling on eBay in 7/02 for $59.00.
