Another is that they were sometimes horizontal (as are regular lobby cards), but were also sometimes vertical (and a set could contain some of each). Jumbo lobby cards were made in full sets of eight, and sometimes there were the same (or similar) scenes as in the regular set, but often they had entirely different scenes, and often entirely different border art.\u003cstrong\u003e They are far more rare than regular lobby cards,\u003c\/strong\u003e and yet because few collectors know of them, the demand historical has not been as high as regular lobby cards.  However, as \u003cstrong\u003ecollectors have become more aware of this highly Scarce pieces of Movie History, a dramatic demand shift seems to have taken place. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e*An extraordinarily rare jumbo lobby card for “Dracula (Universal) sold for nearly five times its estimate to bring \u003cu\u003e$192,000\u003c\/u\u003e at Auction on Nov. 23, 2019.  \u003c\/strong\u003e  I know this would eventually happen because\u003cstrong\u003e Jumbo Lobby cards are stunning and typically have superior quality including brighter beautiful colors, crisper high quality images, full color bleed and larger size then regular lobby cards.\u003c\/strong\u003e   Not to mention they only had about a 20 year lifespan, being phased out in the 1940s.   It’s hard to believe these spectacular superior Jumbo lobby cards were discontinued while the smaller less exciting lobby cards survived for about -80 years, which is most likely because of the lower cost to theater owners, more accommodating smaller size and less movie theater space required\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eAs you can see from the “Grapes of Wrath” jumbo cards, they put the regular lobby cards to shame!  \u003c\/strong\u003eAnd the secret is out.  These under valued Jumbo cards have skyrocketed in value over the past couple years.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cvtreasures stamp Not on original \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Posters For Sale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59486759092305,"sku":null,"price":1950.0,"currency_code":"MAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/5511\/8929\/files\/grapes-of-wrath-original-vintage-jumbo-lobby-card-fonda-1940-506360_3475ed80-04e3-4084-8207-a9839ef4d112.jpg?v=1778210670","url":"https:\/\/shopallthinge.myshopify.com\/products\/grapes-of-wrath-original-vintage-jumbo-lobby-card-fonda-1941","provider":"shopallthinge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
