    Description

    This is the Original (1sh) 1925 Lobby Card
    THE TRAIL RIDER
    .  It was used by
    Fox
    to promote this movie when it was released in 1925.  It is not a reprint nor a reproduction.  The movie stars
    Buck Jones
    , Nancy Deaver, Lucy Fox, Carl Stockdale, Jack McDonald, George Berrell, Jack Rollens, and Will Walling.  It was directed by W.S. Van Dyke.
    This unrestored movie Lobby Card measures 11" x 14".
    It comes with an unattached stiff cardboard backing.
    This original movie Lobby Card is graded C6.5, Fine Plus.
    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 is very strong and is unfettered by any major flaws.  The scrap above the cowboy's hat is the primary - and only - flaw that is in the main image, and it is not readily noticeable.  The photo that appears in this listing of that scrap is highlighted by the camera's flash; the scrap is not that white or different in color than the surrounding Lobby Card area.  But the scrap is there and it can be noticed.  However, we feel that it is not the type of flaw - like missing paper or a large smudge - that significantly hurts the simple beauty of this Lobby Card.
    Restoration of the Lobby Card would alleviate this scrap and the other flaws.  If you are interested in this Lobby Card and are also interested in restoring it, please let us know. We can have that restoration done and the cost would be added to the price of the Lobby Card.  We use a professional restoration company that is both reasonable in price and highly effective in restoring original movie posters and Lobby Cards to their original beauty and condition. We fully belive that the cost of restoration would be exceeded by the increase in value of a restored
