1930’s-1950’s Collection of 95 Vintage Movie Star Penny Arcade Trading Cards

About the Item

Fabulous vintage collection of 95 movie star exhibit cards from penny arcades, movie houses, and fairs. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, there is a red ink stain on a couple. And someone has written on the back of several. There is some vintage wear as you would expect with age but they are in overall good condition. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1930’s-1950’s. LIGHTS… CAMERA… ACTION!!!!! My. Oh my… you are about to be absolutely STARSTRUCK!!! We have 95 vintage movie star trading or exhibit cards to offer for your viewing… and purchasing pleasure!! These collectible cards were once sold in vending machines at penny arcades, movie houses, and fairs and now they are bundled together in one phenomenal collection of your dreams!! Each card is 3.25” x 5.25” and many were produced by Exhibit Supply Company featuring Movie & Film Stars from the 1930-1950’s. Much like baseball trading cards (back-in-the-day!!) you would purchase the cards hoping to get your favorite. If not, then you hoped you could trade the “not so loved” star you had for your favorite that someone else had. What innocent, and quite NOSTALGIC fun!! This collection contains female stars including the likes of the ICONIC Veronica Lake, Claudett Colbert, Shirley Temple, Ida Lupino, Jean Tierney and Myrna Loy. And ELITE male stars including Gary Cooper, Tyrone Power, James Stewart, Allen Ladd, William Powell, and Robert Young. What ENDLESS fun you can have with these!! I mean, just the collection alone makes for great conversation but you could use them as a magnificent wallpaper in an entertainment, movie, or theater room, or… make a collage and create a marvelous wall piece and frame it OR frame each one individually. TONS of entertaining possibilities!! Honestly, this is just an AWESOME collection of marvelous movie memorabilia, and YOU NEED TO OWN IT!! Looks to me like the STARS have ALIGNED… and you need to Make this Movie Star card collection YOURS!!!!
