Five Postcards from The Son of the Sheik

These are five different postcards from the film, “The Son of the Sheik.” Two of these are Ross card from Berlin; the other three are colorized cards. Postcards are a great way to collect some affordable items from the 20’s. Most are relatively inexpensive and easy to find. My favorites are the Beagles cards which have the art-deco raised frame around the card. Some of the original colorized cards tend to be desirable as well.

  2. Congratulations! I have not bought any postcards in a long time. Besides the Beagles, I like the older "real photo" cards along with the Ross cards. Keep building up that collection!

  3. I tried for one of the colorized SOS cards yesterday, but didn't get it, so I bought the ubiquitous Jadaan card instead, just to say I did.

  4. Some of the vintage colorized cards tend to sell for a bit more, they tend to be more desirable. I have a colorized Beagles from The Sheik that I bought in Hollywood, it is one of my favorites. Keep trying, there is never a lack of postcards on ebay.
