Siegreichen Fahnen cards good or bad?

Thanks Old Flags!

Those are the lowest prices that I have seen for these cards, even when you factor in the buyers fee. I need a couple of them to complete a set that I just received that was 2 cards short...so 'DANKE' for the heads up

Actually, the Manions site just put up a special paper (3rd Reich Postcard) auction on their home page last week that has 7 pages of original 3rd Reich postcards, many of which are at bargain prices. Fun to look at, even if one has no intention of buying, as it's interesting to know what is out there.

For example, the 'Day of the Wehrmacht' series card that Curt saw sell on Meixner for €200....the end price for this 1 card was around $350 when you calculate all the fees, expenses...and Euro costing $1.40. At least 2 similar original cards from this series are now on this Manions special auction starting at $118 each, and with buyers commission that is about $135 each...a big, big difference from $350!

Thanks again for the info, and happy hunting!

better flag proportions ???

I wouldn't call them "cartoon like". Unless you want
photo cards I think they are quite well done.

Curt:
Here is one with somewhat better flag proportions IMO.

Curt....here is another card from the WHW 'Day of the Wehrmacht' series.

A great one for the PAB collectors out there

PS: And I'm with you on the 'Flags and Standards' card series that you first asked about. I think they are beautiful !!

Thanks for posting the Panzer Assault badge card! Very nice and maybe one day I'll get one for less than the $350 the other card cost.

There is another set of cards that depict badges which I am trying to get. I know someone that has them but they are a little dirty and banged up. Here are a couple from that series.

John:
Have received "heads up" from others on the WAF, so
I like to try to return such favors if and when I can. Here
is my favorite from the cited "special paper auction" link.

That is a beauty

I love the original COLOR cards, especially if they have flags, and or eagles. That one has both!
