After a 80 something post thread, I think I need a vacation.

I stand by my opinion on the autheniciy, but am going to drop the issue. If collectors wish to beleive that Goodwin & Co was making Old Judge tintypes as proofs or to insert into packs of smokes, that's fine. If a collector who has considered the arguments wishes to purchase one of these proof cabinets, it's their money to spend. I have seen the proofs in person and won't argue that they will make pretty display pieces.

I know most of the people on the other side of the argument-- Nick, Bob Lemke and I think I know who is the 'FBI-Guy'-- and they are honorable people who I respect. And that's as good a note as any to end my posting on the subject.
