Vintage Lobby Cards Movie Theater Posters Collection

Origina Vintage Lobby Cards Movie PosterArt

 

Lobby card movie posters were used in U.S. theaters up until the late 1970’s. They are rarely produced for today’s films.

These small movie posters (11”x14”) printed on card stock were generally produced in sets of eight. These mini movie posters were designed for display in a theater’s lobby for the purpose of luring movie goers into the theater by showing highlights from the movie. A lobby card typically set entailed one Title Card (TC), a lobby card of similar designed to the one sheet with credits and feature/close-up artwork of the major stars, and seven Scene Cards (SC), each depicting a different scene from the movie.


Original vintage movie theater lobby cards are highly collectible today because they often depict the most memorable scenes in the movie which were not captured on the other style posters. In addition, lobby cards are the perfect size for framing and display.
