WW2 German card - anyone know what set this is from?

Hi,

I recently bought about 10 WW2 German cigarette cards and have no idea of the value (I pd about $7 each). Does anyone have a clue as to the value and whether E-Bay would even grade them? Please note that the card is of Hitler and other top Nazi officials - so don't view if it will offend you.

Regards,

  • I highly doubt if ebay will GRADE them.
    I am looking for Nolan Ryan cards, esp. OPC and rare oddball issues, graded or not. Also I need quite a few 1956 Topps, PSA 6 or higher

    Current Sets in Progress:
    1956 Topps Master Set PSA 6 or better
    1978 Topps PSA 9 or 10
    1981 Donruss Golf PSA 9 or 10
    1989 Upper Deck PSA 9 or 10
    Nolan Ryan Master Set
    Pete Rose Master Set

  • Hi,

    this is an interesting site for german cards: http://www.germancards.com/

    They do have the set listed, look under 'Austria Tabakwerke' in their Mfr. Index section but they have no other info.
    There is also a very interesting page on the history of German cards.

    Hope that helps.

  • Greg,

    Yes, PSA will grade them. I have a 1936 Hiltler card titled "Der Fuhrer" PSA 6. It is a large card (tallboy) showing Hilter with some of his commanders (I presume).

    Here is a German tobacco card with Hitler. They weren't actually in cigarette packs, but there were coupons in the packs you needed to mail in.

    Mintstate - thanks for the pic. However, mine are much smaller. That is a very nice card you have....

  • The last thing I want to do on this board is provoke a fight, but I am curious as to why you, and others, collect these cards?

    For the historical significance. Even though I despise the genocide that Germany perpetrated during WW2, I am fascinated by the German military and in researching the many battles that were fought - especially on the Eastern Front.

    Most people have no clue as to the ferocity of the fighting between Germany and Russia and the odds that German units fought against until they were finally overwhelmed by the Red hoard.

    I thought that might have been the one you were talking about. They are fairly common, but still interesting. Another forum member just bought this card from me last week. PSA misspelled the name of the cigarette brand on the label, it should be Reemtsma.
  • hi rick,

    got it today ! thanks !

    good dealing with you.

    see ya, lee

    I think the history of these cards are very interesting. They represent a very important (albeit very sad and demented) part of the 20th century. What are the odds of many of these cards surviving?
