Fan Cards were sent out by
the studios when fans wrote
in for a stars autograph or
picture. These autographs
were not genuine, usually
rubber stamped or etched
on the negative of the photo
and most likely not even a
copy of the star's actual
signature. These matte,
double weight photos came
as  a 5 x 7's or 8 x 10's and
at one point, fans could
purchase 8 x 10's for a
quarter!
