1930s actors


Hey, I’m new here and was given this site as a recommendation from some folks at RACC. My grandmother passed away and I have inherited her collection of signed photos from 1935-1939 as she penciled in on the back of each photo the year. There are approximately 175 photos and most are 5x7. A lot are personalized. Some are preprinted and others are probably secretarial, but I don’t know which are. 

How should I go about getting these authenticated and how should I go about selling them? I collect sports and music memorabilia and only know a few of these names as I’m 30 and don’t really watch Turner Classic Movies. I know that I’m better off selling individually than selling them in bulk. Thank you so much for your help!

Robert,

If you can copy the names from the original texts and paste them as text into the original post, this discussion will be a lot easier to follow and the names will come up in search, which will increase the likelihood of getting responses. Thanks

Sorry about that. I will try and figure out who a lot of them are. Unfortunately I’m having trouble reading a lot of the signatures

This is going to be my last for a little while. Will post some more later today or in the morning.
