DESCRIPTION
This is graded by CGC who is best known as the premiere comic book grading service.  They also grade trading cards under their CSG (Certified Sports Grading) company, as well as Pokemon cards under the CGC company.  So, if you're familiar with card grading companies like PSA and BGS (Beckett), then you probably know about CGC.
The encapsulation of lobby cards is not in the arcylic rigid slab, the lobby cards are authenticated then inspected for grading and then placed into a tamper proof flexible card holder that protects the card from damages, but is not rigid and hard acrylic like most trading card slabs that are used for encapsulation, this is the industry standard for lobby cards.
Graded lobby cards are important in the hobby because of the
proliferation
of reprints (forgeries, reproductions or prints) that are not authentic, licensed or recognized to having any value.  So, by getting a graded lobby card, you're getting assurance that it's authentic.
The grade is important because lobby cards were at one time, afterthoughts, not well taken cared of, so finding high grade lobby cards without pin-holes, tears, fading or any usage or handling damage is rare.
The Lobby Card collecting niche is gaining popularity, they're movie memorabilia, and often also seen as over-sized trading cards too.
This card comes exactly as you see it in the photos.

THOSE WHO TRY TO SNIPE, AND
FORGET TO BID ON ONE OF A KIND ITEMS ARE ONLY LEFT WITH REGRET
IF you are an EBAY WEEKDAY Workplace Warrior, Don't Forget to Bid on Auctions that close before you get into work (late night after you leave) or that close on Weekends or Holidays!
ALSO, keep in mind two other factors when placing your "best offer" bids... Auction Watching SNIPERS, those eBay strategic bargain hunting bidders who may (and will) sneak their bids in at the last minute and steal this deal right from under you just as the auction closes...
AND of course the rare (but occasional) times that either your Internet Access is DOWN (or you're simply not around or forget) or if EBAY's Auction Site is down and you can't access the site to place your bid!
My bidding philosophy for items you absolutely want, especially in cases of one of a kind items is just to place a best efforts bid of what you're willing to pay and can afford "what it's worth to you", no more than that, and no less either, so you'll know you gave it a 100% effort to obtain it and even if you lose, you didn't lose because you didn't try...
