This is a shameless plug but $3000 may get you an 1871 Osceola Base Ball Club of Stratford (Champions of Connecticut)Mammoth sized cabinet (5 sizes larger than an imperial cabinet if I am interpreting Divid's/Cycleback's info correctly). The size and feel of this massive cabinet is really nice. The best part of it is that it includes future Hall of Famer James "Orator" O'Rourke (far right) prior to his professional début
This size of albumen cabinet is extremely rare and was very expensive to make. It was possibly made especially for the club and hung in their clubhouse.

It starts at $1500 but there are no bids on it yet and I am getting a little nervous. I didn't really want to sell it and hope that I am not going to have to part with it at a giveaway price!
