I’m uncomfortable with these, but I’m not ruling them out. They need solid, documentable provenance.

I'm thinking these may be real.

Can you tell us a bit more about the provenance of these?  These are European postcards.  I wonder if they originate there.

I've studied M.B. quite a bit and about the only thing that can be said about his signing habits are that they are chaotic, at best.   These look pretty o.k. overall and what I would expect from his pen.  

Maybe our vintage Hollywood folks like Joe W. and David Lewis will jump in.

p.s. I'm always interested in possibly acquiring Brando if you are going to do something with them.

I know what you mean. These look like they could be real but more details are needed. Two are personalized to different people (I can't read the first one), which is uncommon to see together, and they're signed on TTM fan photos. I wouldn't completely trust them until I saw them in person.

Steve -  Yes, that is odd that they were personalized to two different people.

These are 1950's postcards but this is not his 50's 'style' (if you can call it that).  I'm thinking these were signed later in the 1970's or 80's.

Here's my Brando SP from the mid. 50's:
