The memorable "Wiping Tears" scene

It is on a rare occasion we acquire one of these 1949 re-release OZ lobby cards. We always believed they were superior to the original 1939 cards, the color, artwork , graphics are just spectacular. For many years we thought these 49 lobby cards were our little secret. That changed last year when Heritage sold eight cards separately. The prices shocked everyone. One sold for over $4200! Even more then the original 1939 cards. Our little secret was no longer. The rest of the collecting world apparently discovered these extraordinary treasures.

Here we are offering one of the best cards of the set, "Wiping Tears" . You know the scene. A BEAUTY! It usually takes us several years to find ONE of these. However, we were fortunate recently to acquire FOUR of these magnificent pieces of Hollywood History. Be sure to check them out. Grab this one or wait about 4-5 years for us to find another. Very good condition with some tape stains on border and a corner chip off. Also, two amateur touch up spots on Jack Haley.

Excellent condition. Had minor restoration to touch up corner tape stains that were on the borders only. VERY scarce card to find! This card sold for near $3000 in July of 2006.
