A Group of 7 Original Vintage Autographed German Ross Postcards (measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" [9 x 14 cm]) (Learn More) Signed Ross Postcard Set, the 1920s-1930s set of 7 signed Ross postcards with the following stars: Sybille Schmitz, Karl Ludwig Diehl, Volker von Collande, Attila Horbiger, Otto Gebuhr, Paul Hartmann, and Willy Birgel. Important Added Info: Note that each of these German Ross postcards has been personally autographed (signed) by one of the following people: Sybille Schmitz, Karl Ludwig Diehl, Volker von Collande, Attila Horbiger, Otto Gebuhr, Paul Hartmann, AND Willy Birgel! Also note that in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany, it became a common practice to pass out 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" "Ross postcards" to the people who attended a movie. These were postcards that people could send through the mail (each had a picture of one of the movie's stars on it, and standard postcard markings on the other side). But these were also sent to theaters where the stars would make personal appearances, and members of the audience would get the stars to autograph them if they could, but of course, the cards themselves did not come autographed! Sometimes the theaters would use a special "Das Programm Von Heute" that had a blank area on the cover, where they would cut four slits in the upper left and have the "Ross postcards" inserted into that area, so that the audience members would get the program and the card together! We imagine that theaters hoped that audience members would mail the postcards after they saw the movie to friends, telling them how much they enjoyed it, thus creating advertising for the movie. These are often called "Ross autograph cards" by collectors, because moviegoers sometimes obtained autographs on them. Ross postcards are quite collectible, signed or unsigned, but of course, they are worth far more signed. They are often quite rare, because most German paper of all kinds from before World War II was destroyed during the war, due to the massive paper shortages there at that time. These postcards come from an advanced collector of 1940s German movie memorabilia. He consigned this ten Ross postcards, all with signatures. We put this group of 7 in a single auction as a set and three others in single auctions. This is a very rare opportunity to acquire these signed Ross postcards! Finally, note that our consignor does not have a certificate of authenticity for this, but we believe the signatures to surely be authentic. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good.
