BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of German 1936 Olympic Sammelwerk Nr. 13 Collector Cards
A collection of vintage German collector cards from the series titled Sammelwerk Nr. 13 Olympia 1936 – Band I. These cards are attributed to the Reemtsma tobacco company and were produced as part of a commemorative album series documenting the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin and the Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The cards feature both black-and-white and colorized photographic depictions of various athletes, track and field events, stadium ceremonies with national flags, and the Olympic rings emblem. The reverse of one card identifies it as card number 129 from group 53, depicting long-distance runners Burns and Syring. The text on the reverse provides historical context in German regarding the Olympic Games and the structure of the collection. The cards are constructed of printed paperboard.
Condition report:
The cards are in good vintage condition. Visible signs of wear include minor edge wear, corner bumping, and light age-related toning consistent with the period.
