Lobby cards, the smaller cousins to movie posters, once graced theaters everywhere. They were produced from about 1910 to 1985, and typically consisted of eight cards, including a title card and seven scene cards. They were printed on 11 by 14 inch card stock, and displayed all around the theaters. Collectors value complete sets, which are surprisingly possible to find, as many people who collect them try to keep them together.
