Casablanca, 1942
Original Vintage Movie Poster Lobby Card
Starring Humphrey Bogart
2017 was the 75th Anniversary of Casablanca
It is what many film historians have voted the greatest movie of all time.
Wow! I can't tell you how excited we are for only the 2nd time in 37 years of collecting to have acquired one of the most scarce and highly sought after movie memorabilia treasures, an Original 1942 “Casablanca” lobby card. It is simply stunning. A most memorable scene with Bogie and Peter Lorre.
* NOTE: Time has not diluted the demand for original artifacts for this masterpiece classic film . This past July an Italian 1946 one sheet sold for $478,000. And the original 1942 Lobby Cards have skyrocketed in value. A Title Lobby Card sold in July 2016 for $15,600.. We haven’t had an original lobby card in several years. So, we are excited to have just acquired this one .

Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), owner of Rick's Cafe, the hottest nightspot in Casablanca, has his world turned upside down when his old flame Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) comes walking through his door with her husband, notorious resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid). A stirring movie, Claude Rains, Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet, and Conrad Veidt are also featured in the all-star cast.
Condition: Picturing Lorre and Bogart, this card shows dust shadows at the edges, which we left as it offers an attractive vintage added layer of authenticity. And I personally love the added touch of authenticity with all its 75 years of theater used history.. and did not want to take that away with restoration.
This card had minor restoration to address small bottom border tear and a couple pinholes in the borders . It looks great!
It is in quite nice condition for its 75 years. And such a Rarity of a find, you never know when and IF another will surface within the next decade!
