Be sure to checking your tracking updates to get a better idea of when your package will be delivered.At SSC, you will never find reproductions, reprints, or copies of any kind... All items were produced in conjunction with the original film or television program releases. We'll search our inventory and list the item for you, as quickly as possible. Most of the items in our collection/inventory are vintage "one of a kind" (to us) pieces, so the item you see online is the actual item you'll receive.
Since vintage movie posters/lobby cards can be 50, 60, 70+ years old, they can often be faded or become slightly brittle from heat/sun exposure, have pin holes. Minor stains, or tears/fold separation in them... And will seldom look like "new/made yesterday" items. We do our best to highlight the condition of each item, and identify any out of the ordinary issues. In some cases, we will have more than one image, so please be sure to review each of them while you are carefully reading the description. In the case of posters, it is often easier to spot issues from the back, since there are no graphics or coloring to mask them. Whenever possible (and if there is a reason to), we will include an image of the back of posters for your review.Please keep in mind that not all imperfections you see on the back are noticeable (or matter) on the front. Requesting additional details or photos. We will do whatever is necessary to ensure that you're not only a satisfied customer, but that you will want to come back and send your friends to us as well! We are also a LAMP Sponsor, and as such adhere to their "No-Misrepresentation Agreement".
Note: In our effort to bring as many items to you as possible, not all items have had their condition documented on the listing. We are working to have these updated as quickly as possible. Very Fine - Mainly reserved for items that look almost like they did when they originally arrived at a theater.
In many cases this class of item may never have been displayed. Fine - An excellent example with only very minor issues, like a small corner bump. Very Good - Displays very well, but may contain corner pin holes, very light staining/soiling, light/small creases, corner bumps. Good - Displays well, but may have issues such as multiple pin/tack/staple holes, small creases, noticeable corner or edge wear, minor discoloration, ¼"- ½" tear in the edge of a border, or small pieces of tape/tape residue. Fair - Posters that could have significant damage, which in some cases may not be glaringly obvious or visually a major issue.Condition could include several inch clean tears, which do not detract from the main image, or small sections of border missing. Note: We do not reference the overused grade of "mint", as this is the most subjective of all grades. Some people may feel that a "mint" item has to be absolutely (and often unrealistically) perfect, when in fact extremely small issues like a spec/dot or minor print error that was originally printed on the item could make the item less than "perfect". We sell vintage items, some of which could be 100 years or more old, so it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to find an absolutely perfect/looks like it was made yesterday, 80 year old piece of paper.
In our effort to provide as detailed and accurate condition descriptions as possible, we try to use consistent terminology (some of which may be common/standard, and others we may have developed on our own). Chip - A small (typically ¼"- ½") piece of paper missing.Most often from a corner. Corner Bump - This is very minor damage to the corner points, where it looks like something "bumped into" the corner, making it no longer perfectly square.
The corner may be slightly turned under, but all paper would still be in place. Crease - A paper item that has damage from being folded (either accidentally, or on purpose).
This can refer to a corner that has been "bent" (not torn), multiple small lines on a border (typically from rough handing or poor storage). In some cases we may note that a lobby card has "vertical and horizontal creases", which means that at some point the card was folded top to bottom and side to side (quartered).
We have several lobby cards that unfortunately have this sort of damage. This was most likely the result of a particular theater folding the cards up after use, to prevent re-use or simply their process when discarding them.
Edge Wear - The border/outside edges of a paper item has minor damage, typically causing the line of the edge to no longer be perfectly flat/straight. In many cases, depending on the degree of wear, this condition is barely noticeable.Paper Loss - Some amount of the physical paper is missing, causing a hole or some amount of an edge to be missing. Rippling - Typically caused by exposure to moisture of some sort, which has caused the paper to no longer lay perfectly flat.
Soiling - This is the appearance of dirt on the front surface of a paper item. Staining - This is a physical stain from water or some other liquid.
Scuff - A mark on the front surface of a paper item, which does not break the paper surface. Typically caused by something brushing over the surface leaving some sort of residual marking. Scratch - A mark on the front surface of a paper item, which may/does break the surface of the paper. Typically caused by something sharp running across the surface. On occasion, it is possible that an item may sell at a show, but still show as available in our store.
We will do our utmost to avoid this situation, by ensuring that our online inventory is updated, as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience that this situation may cause.
