Vintage Trade Card Appraisal

Myrna Loy Reclamos Gavin Madrid Trade Card

This item is a vintage collectible trade card featuring a portrait of the well-known American actress Myrna Loy. The card is printed on what appears to be a light cardboard or heavy paper stock, enclosed within a transparent protective sleeve, indicating its value as a collectible. The dimensions are consistent with standard trade or collector cards of the mid-20th century. The portrait of Myrna Loy depicts her with her characteristic curly brown hair, looking upwards, and wearing a dark pinstriped suit jacket over a white collared shirt, accessorized with an ornate, possibly jeweled, brooch. The background of the portrait is a muted light green. Her name, 'Myrna LOY', is prominently displayed at the top right corner of the card in a stylized font, with 'Myrna' in a script-like type and 'LOY' in sans-serif capital letters. At the bottom right, in red capital letters, the text 'RECLAMOS GAVIN - Madrid' is visible, identifying the manufacturer or distributor of this card as Reclamos Gavin from Madrid, Spain. The overall condition appears to be excellent, with no visible creases, tears, or significant discoloration. The colors, while possibly softened by age, retain good vibrancy. The card's edges are clean and sharp, suggesting it has been well preserved, likely due to being kept in the protective sleeve. The presence of 'Frederick Diaz Sanchez' on the back, though not visible in the image, suggests a previous owner's mark, which could add to its provenance.
