Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Since I won it I guess I should be familiar with it. It is legit. I saw another one in a Lipset auction many years ago. They are very scarce... You can google it and find that it was a movie back in the 1926 time frame...regards

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>I had one at one time, I beleive Adam W. has it now, it was yellow like that one and the top edge was preferated if I remember right. <br /><br />This one on eBay went for a good price, Ive seen about 3-4 of them over the years on eBay (green or yellow color) and they usually sell for more like $400-$500.<br /><br />It is rare.

Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>Leon, I thought that was an awesome card. I was going to bid on it but there's alot of good stuff out there I'm more interested in at the moment. Glad I could save you some money. How could you pass on the Babe with a babe?<br /><br />Clint

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Thanks. I think it's fairly close to normal exhibit size though I don't think I have held one, yet....I am fairly sure that ESCO (Exhibit Supply Company) didn't make this as it as a promo piece for the movie of said name...

Posted By: <b>boxingcardman</b><p>That card went for less than 1/2 of what it should have--post National hangover I suspect. <br /><br />It doesn't appear to be an ESCO product but is very likely a rival arcade card. I had mine encapsulated as such by SGC. <br><br>Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc
