This photo comes from the collection of Lester Glassner.  Glassner was a renowned collector of pop culture memorabilia, including an enormous collection of some 250,000 Hollywood still photos which he often licensed for use in magazines, newspapers and documentaries.  We were very fortunate to have acquired a sizable group of choice material from this amazing estate collection following his passing in 2008.  You can learn more about the life and collections of Lester Glassner with a simple Google search.  Glassner stamp at verso.

GRADING: We use comic book grading standards, as defined by Overstreet and Comic Guarantee Corp., for grading all of our paper collectibles.   These strict standards are well-developed and widely accepted.  The various grades we use are generally applied as follows:

Near Mint - item is bright and clean, virtually defect-free and appears "like new"... image is sharp... any defects would be barely perceptible and only visible upon close inspection.

Very Fine / Near Mint - at first glance appears near mint but upon close inspection very minor degradation or one or two very small defects become apparent.

Very Fine - generally clean and bright and still high grade and desirable but may have a few small defects (e.g., minor corner crease, light bend, subtle image degradation, etc.).

Fine - average grade... nice collectible item but defects are more noticable and apparent.. may have some soiling or image issues.

Very Good - lower grade... wear and tear is readily apparent... item is still complete though.

Good -  low grade... heavy defects... could be a piece missing from a corner or a major tear.

Fair or poor - the lowest grades... we generally only offer items in this condition if they are hard to find.  And subscribe to our newsletter for previews of our upcoming listings.
