If you see the red on those trimmed card vs. what was sold at HA (for $4500!) it must be badly faded. I can only imagine that all the cards should look closer to the colorful card above.

Nice! Are you going to have them restored? Seems like most of the art is intact.

I think so Matt, they are too important not to. Now, just trying to find a scan of the card to match the border. Ira Resnick has one in his book Starstruck. Fingers crossed he will send a Hi-res scan of it! If anyone knows him, lemme know

The missing art may just have to be made up, unfortunately, since I believe none of these have been seen before?

Presumably Morrie has a Blue Angel example as well (and probably Metropolis). Might be worth reaching out to Profiles in History and/or Morrie before the collection is sold in a few days!

You'd think there is probably a pressbook in existence somewhere - whether it actually contains quality representations of the lobbies is another issue entirely

Harry Caul · « **Reply #6905 on:** December 11, 2014, 12:31:33 PM »

Well, I know my card was only really missing the borders, but I can highly recommend Mario for the job! Disclaimer, the after picture is bagged -- sorry for the reflections.

Starling · « **Reply #6906 on:** December 11, 2014, 12:42:52 PM »

Wow Matt, that is one amazing card. And the resto work is flawless.

Looks terrific, Matt. He did a great job. Looks natural. Very cool, such a great card.

Nice win, Brian.

Cool card, HC.

Many thanks all. Hopefully Starling's BA cards can be made to look equally awesome!

The bright colored Metropolis card is Morrie's....presumable the only known copy of that particular scene

The video on this page shows and talks about this card as well as others...well worth watching

Filmlobbycards great info all the way around and thank you for sharing!

In reference to the Metropolis lobby -> "Metropolis, a silent movie from 1927 is the first movie poster that started Everett's collection"

What a way to start. No wonder he was hooked.

Mirosae · « **Reply #6915 on:** December 12, 2014, 02:23:30 AM »

If that was his first, wonder what his latest was...

This was sold at Bonhams for £625. I might live to regret I didn't push a bit further for it. On the other hand....hey..you win...You lose..

Maybe the next one that pops up Rosa!

That would look fantastic framed wouldn't it?

Mirosae · « **Reply #6923 on:** December 12, 2014, 01:32:10 PM »

Yes.. congratulations to the new owner - it has got my finger (prints) all over it though hehehe

Starling · « **Reply #6924 on:** December 12, 2014, 02:11:19 PM »

The more I think about it, the more I believe the person who picked up those three Metropolis cards may have gotten the deal of a lifetime. Restored, I believe they will go for a large amount of money......

Damn, I should have tried for both sets :/

Oh well.
