Checklist of Curt Teich Linen Comic Postcards
by
Thomas O.
Garnhart
The Checklist
of Curt Teich Linen Comic
Postcards is the first
definitive and systematic cataloging of linen comic postcards by this
quality printer and publisher. Amidst the growing popularity of
linens, it is a valuable resource for both collectors and dealers.
Some 1548 detailed entries list cards in order of the production.
Value ranges are provided to identify the comparative
desirability/rarity of each postcard. Detailed information is given
about each entry, including inscriptions, series names, and
indicators of which are WWII related and which are black racial
stereotypes. $24.95 + p/h visit
this link for details and scan of cover.
(EDITOR"S NOTE......A new Checklist is coming...Publication of a
new checklist titled Comic Postcards of WWII is expected in early
Spring 2006. (It will also include large letter military linens)
This new and updated list will include considerably more data than
previous resources. A Pittman and Greiner list, last updated in 2000,
was the best thing previously in print, though its availability was
limited. A helpful feature of this new publication will be an
index of cards by the inscription on the cards face that indicates
the name of the publisher. Since many cards are difficult to
identify, this is of great help to the collector. Illustrations
are being included to define the style of various publishers,
including previously unidentified publishers. This list is being
authored by Dr. Thomas O. Garnhart, author of the popular Checklist
of Curt Teich Linen Comic Postcards.
Here are some links to some of our
favorite postcard websites and ebay sellers. Be sure to visit our
website for images and more great postcard collecting
information.
