They look legit to me. I also had a look at the sellers feedback and current auctions and there is zero negative or neutral ratings, and have plenty of other older cards and antiques for sale.

I wouldn't be afraid to buy them, for that reason.

Congratulations. I was worried that bringing attention to this might have started a bidding war. I also looked at the completed auctions and saw it went unsold once so this hasn't been up for long.

When you get them, check to make sure that one is not stuck to the back of another. I bought an incomplete set of lobby cards from the 2 Peter Cushing Doctor Who movies at a show and was pleasantly surprised to find two were stuck to other cards. It left me missing one card out of 16 rather than three, so I was thrilled.

Hmmmmm. It seems that lobby cards are very affordable compared to movie posters. Am I wrong?

It depends I guess on the movie. Also the lobby cards are much smaller then the posters (which i like)

WALKS cards and posters are a lot cheaper then those for the first 2 movies.
