There is light scuffing on the right to the right of the "credits". There is a smaller lighter scuff mark at the top right corner. There is a 1/2" horizontal tear on the left outermost border near center. There is a 1/4" horizontal tear on the right outermost border near the bottom. There is a slight bend at the right top corner tip. There are 4 pin holes at the top, 3 are barely into the image area above "OF THE".

This is the Original (1sh) 1955 Lobby Card of the
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
.
It does not appear to have a Lobby Card number; on other
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
original Lobby Cards (which we have listed or will be listing), we find the Lobby Card number on the bottom right in the image area. We plan to look this up in our book "
They Already Here
", which describes and has pictures of most 1950s and 1960s sci-fi and horror original posters and Lobby Cards. If we get more information on this Card's Lobby Card number, we will update the listing. And please, feel free to help me out!!
This is the
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
Lobby Card with the 4 stars standing on the boat. It was issued by
Universal International,
to
promote this movie in 1955.
This Lobby Card
is not a reprint nor a reproduction. The movie stars
J
ohn Agar, Lori Nelson, John Bromfield, Nestor Paiva
, Grandon Rhodes,
Clint Eastwood
, and Diane DeLaire.
It was directed by Jack Arnold. The border artwork is by
Reynold Brown.
This unrestored movie Lobby Card measures 11" x 14".
It comes with an unattached stiff cardboard backing to assist in safe packaging.
This original movie Lobby Card is graded C8, Very Fine.
Original movie Lobby Cards are graded as follows from the top down: C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Fine/Very Fine), C6 (Fine or Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), C4 (Good), etc.   The overall appearance of this Lobby Card and particularly the main image is clean. The obvious somewhat obtrusive flaw is the scuff marks/smudging at the bottom right which goes into the light green image area. But it does go into the main image. Overall the Lobby card has a very presentable appearance.
This Lobby Card could benefit from restoration. If you are interested in this Lobby Card and would consider having it restored, we can do that for you and just add the cost of restoration to the price of the Lobby Card. Or we can refer you to one of the two professional restoration companies that we use. That said, we feel that even without restoration this original movie Lobby Card has a very presentable appearance.
And, if you can bear with me, this brings me to another point. If you want a pristine
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
Lobby Card with the same image as this one, I am sure there are reproductions of this Lobby Card (not an original) for sale on the internet that show the same exact image as this original Lobby Card. This reproduction should be basically pristine with no flaws. And most people that view it, unless they are a collector of original posters too, will not know the difference between a reproduction and an original Lobby Card. Original movie posters and Lobby Cards (like this one) will always have flaws unless they are restored or if by some miracle they have ben in a collection since they were issued.
We only sell original movie posters, lobby cards, etc. I think there is some intrinsic value, not to mention investment value, in owing an original movie poster, Lobby Card, etc.
The original 1955 Lobby Card of the
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
has very good investment value. This Lobby Card will always be in great demand by horror fans.
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
is a classic movie - maybe not as much as its predecessor -
CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON
- but it is part of that history. In addition, we recognize that Lobby Cards that feature or show the creature, monster, ghoul, or otherwise horror star of the movie are generally more valuable than those Lobby Cards that do not feature the Creature, etc. We recognize that this original Lobby Card does not show the Creature, so its price has taken that into account.
