New memorabilia!
I wasn’t going to post about this until I actually received it, but quite frankly I can’t contain my excitement. As of an hour or so ago, I am the very proud owner of this original, rare 11 x 14″ colour lobby card for Hitchcock’s 2nd version of “The man who knew too much”:
Notice those black squiggles? Take a closer look :
That’s right, Jimmy Stewart‘s (and of course the lovely Doris Day‘s) autograph! I honestly can’t believe that I am going to have in my possession a lobby card that has been in the hand of the gentlemanly, legendary (and personal favourite) actor James Stewart! It comes with all the relevant authenticity information from the International Autograph Dealers Alliance, the UACC Registered Autograph Dealers, and the Manuscript society, and is going to be winging its way across the Atlantic on Monday as priority air-mail!
I realise I’m using a lot of exclamation points here, but this is kind of a big deal to me, so let me get it out of my system…
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JIMMY STEWART’S AUTOGRAPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cannot wait to get this, frame it nicely with its authenticity paperwork and make it a centerpiece of my movie collection. I’m so overwhelmed by Jimmy’s squiggle that it’s easy for me to forget the lobby card itself is also awesome, from a fantastic Hitchcock movie.
My first piece of genuine cinema history memorabilia. Consider me chuffed to bits.
Be sure to never put blue stripes on it!
Not sure what blue stripes are – but this little baby is going to be professionally mounted and framed by someone who knows what they are doing. Might cost a bit but I want to make sure this is kept in premium condition.
Oh my good, that is so awesome!
Thought you would appreciate it Asmodai
The seller also had a TV guide signed by Jimmy, from when he was in a short-lived TV show called Hawkins in 1973/1974

Was only an extra 65 US dollars (the lobby card cost a bit more than double that) but it’s not quite as cool as having his signature on an original, rare card of a Hitch film he was in
Just hope it arrives safely… until it gets here I still refuse to believe I own it!
