The movie stars Claude Rains, Gloria Stuart, William Harrigan, Henry Travers, Una O'Connor, Forrester Harvey, Holmes Herbert and E.E. Clive. This window card is a very well preserved example and has not seen the light of day since being printed. The card has absolutely amazingly brilliant original unrestored colors like it was printed last year but since it wasn't and the 73 years of leaning against something else acidic had caused the acid burns at the top yes but other than some paint as they say restoring the areas of this it has very little restoration in the image area. ALL THE PHOTOS IN THIS AUCTION ARE OF THIS EXACT POSTER IN THIS AUCTION AND TESTIFY TO THIS CARDS SHAPE. Yes it had some acid burns and some paper loss where most card had the entire area trimmed off at the top but as you can see they were restored expertly and it is probably one of the very best of the few that have survived, I heard estimates of a dozen to 30 surviving examples of this card. This can all be seen clearly thanks to my including the before restoration photo at the bottom - something sadly that is almost never done by sellers . The restorer had to paperback the card to fix the card but the card was not removed from its original backing just a additional layer of very similiar to the original card stocks backing was added . I bought a collection of early 1930's window cards that had been stored together carefully undisturbed since the 1930s by the original owner these cards were kept out of the light and weather for 70 plus years by her . JUST A COUPLE YEARS AGO HERITAGEAUCTIONGALLERIES seller name on Ebay sold this exact poster ,it's listing was auction number 170089062792 in my opinion a far lessor condition THE INVISIBLE MAN window card went for $8000 and with the 22 percent premium they charge added thats $9760 that this card went for WITH THE TOP TRIMMED OFF !!! yes my card had the upper corner missing at the top as you can see from my before restoration shot but the colors on my card are awesomely bright - was this card? . In any case I would say my card is far better condition and the more desirable card. This example has similar pre-restoration damage but it's restoration is complete -there is no risk -no- the works been done and done well and the card looks absolutely incredible in person I think none are nicer in appearance , yes a near mint example a few years ago sold at auction for $13,900 but , hey , thats always probably going to be the best one and only one in that good a shape without restoration but this card has the same visual impact now . There was another example of this rare window card in the Ramones guy's collection but I heard that one wasn't even close to excellent condition or as the big auction house's use A or B condition and I think that one was sold for about $6000 . Their is also a example that used to run about every 6 months on Ebay for $15,000 minimum bid with all four sides trimmed off !!!. This is a $12-15,000 retail card so please understand the minimum bid here of $8700 is A rare opportunity to own the best for the least if it goes for the minimum bid . Call me if you have any questions , the card was restored at Precision Restoration in California. I will ship between layers of masonite inside layers of cardboard . Add $125 for USPS next day shipping to your winning bid or I will ship with $500 insurance maximum FED-X allows for $100 this would be at your risk but I have never had a problem yet , I sold a year ago the one sheet for Adventures of Robin Hood for $14,000 and insured it for $500 and it got there just fine . I PREFER THIS ITEM BE PICKED UP IN PERSON so feel welcome to come pick it up if you win it and if you do so I'll even give you $100 off the winning bid . I will accept only a check or money order or payment in person and since money orders can be faked and in fact bounce too 10 business days or verified clearance of any payment other then picking it up in person is required , no credit cards accepted especially since if you return the card they - the credit card processor - do not return the 3 percent they charge in the case of a refund AND I'M NOT LOSING THAT $250 SO NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED ON THIS ITEM.

Back to Top Sadly, some of the sellers of movie poster reprints have resorted to exclaiming their reprints are originals or studio reissues " not posterhouse reprints" as one illiterate prolific seller claims. I can only help this situation by assisting you to be able to tell the difference. Virtually all the unlicensed reprints of movie posters in all countries are from one source for the last 21 years since the illegal reprint/fake problem began in 1985 with Francis in London, England's beginning to "fake" originals, his product is almost always 1 inch short so most of his one sheet size movie posters are 39 inches tall instead of the 40 inches they should be (until very recently when studio's began ocassionally printing some 39 inch tall posters for some reason). His reprints are grainy in the credits , the originals have no grain, and the out of focus, grainy, splotchy appearance on all his posters are a dead giveaway. Upon reciept most reprints are very easy to recognize due to there horrible quality. There are a few he puts alot of effort into - like his Spiderman recalled style fake which was only 1/8 inch short and better quality then usual. I REALLY DO NOT SELL ANY REPRINTS and you'll notice my personal cell phone number is listed right here 310-500-9898 and you can call me anytime 24 hrs a day 7 days a week to answer any questions you might have. SHIPPING MATERIALS AND SHIPPING POLICY Back to Top I will ship your poster or posters in tubes I have custom made for me. They are thicker than the horrible free triangle tubes the USPS provides if your shipping priority and many sellers use unwisely and my tubes are 25% thicker still if your paying for priority shipping. This helps me to avoid unhappy customers and multiple insurance claims. INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS - IMPORTANT - READ THIS !!!!! Back to Top If your the winning bidder and your not in the USA or CANADA which my regular shipping rates apply to, then please read this. International surface mail HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AS OF MAY 14, 2007 BY THE USPS . IGNOR THE $10 SHIPPING QUOTE IN SOME OF MY DISCRIPTIONS THIS WAS FOR SURFACE MAIL -WHICH I'M SURE WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE OF THE 3 MONTHS SHIPPING TIME THAT IT TOOK TO MOST COUNTRIES --- YOU MUST PAY THE AIRMAIL SHIPPING RATES NOW this is 14 dollars for the first poster plus 1.50 per every extra poster for one sheet size auctions or smaller , so three posters for instance would be $17 shipping for airmail service. Remember this is only for items that can be shipped together. ALSO IF YOUR BIDDING ON A AUCTION FOR A HUGE POSTER BIGGER THEN A AMERICAN ONE SHEET AND ARE A INTERNATIONAL BIDDER HAVE THE COMMON SENSE PLEASE TO LOOK UNDER THE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES SECTION ABOVE AND BE AWARE THIS IS THE RATE YOU MUST PAY.
