    I got 2 original Ben Hur lobby cards and they are like works of art! I was perplexed as to why they were dated 1960, and found this: Screenshot_20260326_202149_Chrome.jpg

    Is that answer given on one of the mentioned sites? Or is this once again an AI "answer" based on a mix of information?
    Wikipedia is shown as a source for this answer, but the Ben-Hur page on wiki, only mentions (reprints of) lobby cards that came with a 2002 boxed deluxe edition.

    If you ask the same question to Google AI, and replaced 1960 by 1970, the answer is:
    Lobby cards for the 1959 film Ben-Hur are often dated 1970 because Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) launched a major 10th Anniversary theatrical re-release that year.

    1975:
    Lobby cards for the 1959 film Ben-Hur are often dated 1970 because Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) launched a significant theatrical re-release of the movie during that year.

    For 79:
    Lobby cards for the 1959 film Ben-Hur are often dated 1979 (and sometimes 1980) because of a specific international theatrical re-release.

    For many years AI has an answer explaining the date.

    Even for 1957:
    Lobby cards for the 1959 version of Ben-Hur are often dated 1957 because that was the year pre-production and principal photography officially began at Cinecittà Studios in Rome.

    I just Googled it.

    These have all the correct markings for the time from what I can tell. I can share pics if interested.

    I don't mean that the date on the cards are not right for genuine lobby cards. I just meant that the answer Google AI gave might not be the real reason for having 1960 on the cards
