But John ...

those 1886 J. Woods that TIK & TIK are selling are NOT "cards" to me...

because NOT ONLY are they "cabinets"...

but they are also "proofs"...

and I am not a fan of proofs.



To me, this is like me taking a photograph of myself and then giving it to Salvador Dali to paint some portraits of me.

Which has value?? The original photo ... or the artist's actual creations??

To me, having the proofs just isn't as "appealling" as having the real final product: The "cards" themselves as they were INTENDED to look.

Again, just my two cents.
