Default High grade 1900/1908 Felix Potin french cards famous people

These are very nice examples of turn of the century French real photo cards, soaked very cleanly out of scrapbooks. Frustratingly, PSA will only grade Potins that are already on some secret checklist, which essentially means it will grade only ones it already has graded. Others from this submission received up to PSA 6s, about as high as it gets for the issue. The scan on the left can be downloaded and enlarged to get a better view of any individual card.

King of Siam (very popular card, has sold for $100 on ebay). $75
Kipling $50
Ibsen $30
Richard Strauss $30
Verdi (still alive at the time) $30
Wagner $30
Liszt $25
Saint-Saens $25
Paul Pons (wrestler) $25
Rodin $20
Admiral George Dewey $15
George Sand $15
Nicholas II (small pinhole) $10
Maud Gonne $10
