yes, copies for fisher postcards are quite common i here, i wouldn't even buy one if i happened to come across it. even if it is genuine how would you know for sure? not worth the risk if you ask me... i certainly would be happy to get anything back from it if i had purchase said item. a little profit is better than nothing as they say... how much did you buy for yours? i hope it wasn't a lot.

Hi, I'm a chess player, and I own a very rare post card with an envelope signed by Fischer & I think Spassky. Each one signed both the postcard & envelope. There from the 92 re-match. The postcard has a large cartoon image on it of Fischers face with some other ink stamps of country of orgin. His & Spassky's signiture are in black ink. The envelope has a lar ...[text shortened]... nly a few of these cards in the world. Does anyone know the value of this card by any chance?

Originally posted by AnT1862Was it on a cream/off white card with the same colour envelope? It sounds really familiar I think my brother brought somehitng like that back from NY about 10 years ago when he was working there. About A5 size? That's quiet a coincidence if it's the same card becasue he bought a one off. 😕

Again, I have matched the signiture with real ones and fake ones using the internet, it seems legit. My card is about 4x4 in size, it has a red & black ink stamp on it stateing "saveti-staphen"..I'm at work right now, its not in front of me, so dont know the spelling. Also..the source is from a close circle of the old-timer chess players from Fischer's era, one that I had known for about 5 yrs and one that played with Fischer alot and was among the top NYC players. The man who sold it to me was many things, but a liar he wasnt. I also would say that Fischer was happy as a kid on Christmas after he won that re-match, I'm sure he would have signed that card. If theres no place on this site to post a picture, and someone wants to compare there's with mine, e-mail me & we can exchange personal e-mails so that way we can then exchange photos of the card.
Hi Ant.
I smell a wind up here, Notice that most of the posters have
come from the same club (TSM) so obviously a gag is on the run.
Who could have come up with such an idea? ( 😳 )
I did find this, which is genuine.

Fischer's sig plus all the participants of the 1970 Palma de Mallorca
Interzonal Tournament. It went for $462.88.

They reckon Fischer's auotgraph is quite rare but you have to
join to find out what it went for.
Thanks for the lead. Thats exactly like what my signiture I have looks like, and theres actually two, one on the envelope & one on the postcard....I would imagine that within the next few years more information regardign these postcards will surface, as in people who were actually there and witnessed him & Spassky sign them....in fact, I wonder if I can contact Spassky himself and ask him..now theres an idea.
The address I have for Spassky is:
Borsis Spassky
The Basemanet Flat
The Lourve Museum
Paris
France.
Boris don't play much these days and is the live - in cartaker
at the Lourve Museum. One of his jobs is to wipe the smudges
and fingreprints off the Mona Lisa after the tourists have been
have been there all day.
This guy User 261180 wil confirm it. 😉
wow, nice piece of info........I have what I think may be his home address, its a street name. I now may want to visit that museum just to meet him, he is a legend also in the chess world. I hope he enjoys what he does, and he should keep up with playing chess, it's one of the best things you can do in old age to keep your mind sharp, that and exercise.

All's I'm saying is its not "imposible" that the postcard is legit...and the best way to find out is to contact spassky himself, I'm sure he'll remembe if he signed it along with Fischer. I'm 99% sure its real, but I've taken many clear photos of it, having them printed out, and going to mail them to spassky and ask what he thinks. Hopefully I get a response. We will see.
