This is
the (complete) Lobby card set (of eight cards) for Hancock's third
film The
Punch & Judy
Man. Hancock's film career
consisted of only five films; one as supporting player, two as the
star,
and two as guest artist.

History: One
of the oldest forms of movie poster art. Lobby cards were first introduced
in the early 1910s, as a display fixture in most theatre lobbies,
and did so for at least 75 years. Although still available for some
films, they are now typically used only in foreign markets. Lobby
cards remain very popular and collectible today. |
 |
The
above set of Lobby cards were meant for distribution in the UK. There
isn't a US set for this
film, as was the case for The
Rebel - Call me Genius!.
As it was never released internationally, as far as I know. |

If you're
interested in purchasing / collecting the above Lobby cards, as a
complete set, then expect
(realistically),
to pay anything up to £300 for a mint set. It, as mentioned
elsewhere, will all rather depend on who's selling them, as to how
much you'll really
have to pay, of course. This particular set is very
rare, and is in fact the rarest of the four sets I have so
far. You may not find a whole set all in one
go,
so you could find
yourself
having to collect them one by one, and maybe over a period of years.
I personally have never seen them for sale singly, ever! So, it goes
without
saying, unfortunately, bearing in mind their already mentioned rarity,
that to find them at all, in any condition, will prove to be very
difficult. |
