MYSTERY SERIES Some cards that show up with the Ross Verlag name on them do not seem to be part of the more common series. Marion Davies card for 1923 film "Little Old New York" A/1 postcard Mia May color card, numbered 2001/3 on back.   This was one of a series of #2001 cards with various German actors. This #2001 number is not part of the regular card list. These unnumbered paper postcards of Maria Paudler and Greta Garbo had perforated edges, suggesting that they came out of some kind of booklet.   There are also examples of these type of cards picturing Lilian Harvey and Brigitte Helm.

Conrad Veidt facsimile autograph card on paper card stock. Numbered 8001/1 on back.   I have seen a few other examples. These two cards are numbered 32 and 82 (with no slashes), respectively.   The two actors appeared together in the Austrian film "Heut ist der schönste Tag in meinem Leben."   They were both Jewish actors.   Otto Wallburg was killed at Auschwitz.   Joseph Schmidt died in a Swiss internment camp.   (Thanks to Klaus Wunderlich for these scans).
