Chris Boonzaier Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 The Printers had Blanks of certain docs that could be used for free text as well. Certain of these Blanks (originals) have been used (IMHO) to fake documents.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Chris That's unfortunate! To be diplomatic. Missed the first appearance but can I assume that the seller agreed to pull it when it was IDed as a possible bad'un? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed the first appearance but can I assume that the seller agreed to pull it when it was IDed as a possible bad'un? In all fairness, I think the present seller bouht it in good faith. I have contacted him to inform him it is bad. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taube Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 A bit off topic but by the same artist. A flea market find of last year. It is an oroginal sketch of Suchodolski, hand painted with tempera colours. The design was never printed or commercially used from what I know. The signature is clearly Suchodolski´s.

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Ha! Coincidence... I just bought the same one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juju1418 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Sincerely I do not know where you find all this. I do not even see them go on sale. This is one of the most expensive that I paid (around forty euros) and I found it by pure luck at the bottom of Delcampe because as this series has no title the seller did not really know what that it was he just called it a German soldier or something. At this rate it will take me 30 years to bring the series together (even if I have the time) before I hesitated when I saw a card on the sturmtruppen but now at less than 40-50 euros I buy without asking myself any questions because the turn of the classic is quickly done but the rarer cards are really difficult to have and go quickly.

One time you told me that you have already 6 in the set, is it possible to see the 6th different you have please. It would help me to know what it looks like.
