There is slight wear at the corner tips. There is very faint blackish smudging along part of the top border. There is some creasing with tape residue on the bottom border near "in USA" on the front and back. There are several tiny (1/16") marks intermittently along the borders. There is a 1/2" vertical tear along the top outermost border. In the image area, there are two faint whitish lines on the right near the border under the "Universal" logo. There is no soiling and no loss of paper or color. The Lobby Card has a low to low/medium gloss. The main image is definitely C8.5 (VF/Near Mint). Please review the photos carefully.

    Description

    This is the Original (1sh) 1955  Lobby Card No. 5 of the
    REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
    .
    The orange-colored Lobby Card number is on the bottom right in the dark green water area.
    This is the
    REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
    Lobby Card with the
    Creature
    attacking a member of the crew near the boat's ladder.  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 exceptionally clean, almost pristine. The only 2 flaws in the image area that we found after close inspection under bright light were (1) the pin hole on the bottom right that is about 1" or so into the image area and it is quite unobtrusive and (2) the faint whitish lines on the right under the
    Universal
    logo.
    A flaw that we did not have room to mention above is that there is staining and writing on the reverse of the Lobby Card, but this does not show through to the front of the Lobby Card (see photo 12 of 12).
    The other flaws mentioned above are along the borders of the Lobby Card which can be greatly or fully alleviated with proper framing of the Lobby Card.
    The original 1955 Lobby Card of the
    REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
    has excellent 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.  This original Lobby Card no. 5 of
    REVENGE OF THE CREATURE
    d
    oes include or show the Creature
    , and thus this Lobby Card will realize or have more value, and more investment value, than those Lobby Cards that do not feature the Creature.
