() I just bought this lobby card and I recognize (easily) the common generic Geometric inlaid chips there (see close-up below the lobby card picture):

For very, very little, I'd sell this "half-sheet" size (22" x 28") from the same movie. I don't collect half-sheets:
Great Gambling half sheet, re-release of 1935's "Barbary Coast" as "Port of Wickedness" in 1954. Starring Miriam Hopkins, Joel McCrea, Edward G. Robinson, Brian Donlevy and Walter Brennan. Half-Sheet (22 x 28")
DESCRIPTION: The above title says it all. Very attractive, colorful, displayable half-sheet. Low opening bid. ... ... .... Very nice large portrait of lovely Miriam Hopkins in the center with part of roulette wheel. Over her shoulder is Edward G. Robinson. On the lower right is a tense roulette scene with Hopkins and McCrea glaring at each other over a crowed roulette table filled with chips. ... ... .....This was an "A"-list movie, directed by Howard Hawks, screen play by Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht.... ...... Original theatrical poster for the 1954 re-release. R54/255. Return privileges.
The movie is about the Barbary Coast, a red- light district in old San Francisco, California. The neighborhood quickly took on its seedy character during the California Gold Rush (1848–1858). It was known for gambling, pros_titution and crime. It is now overlapped by Chinatown, North Beach, Jackson Square, and the Financial District. It is a famous era for the Sydney Ducks, shanghaiing , vigilante hangings, etc., much of it in the movie.
CONDITION: decent, attractive condition. Will display well. The center portion is bright, colorful, very good condition. The scan here is a mite fuzzy, but the actual half-sheet is crisp and clear. ... .... .... The minor problems that there are are at the margins and corners, but not obtrusive (see picture). Some small tears at the fold lines. ... ... ..... Tape (looks to be old theatrical) on back. Comes flat, folded in quarters. Return privileges.
