Legendary Winners - Part I

[68Hawk]

Gary, that CDV is breathtaking......it really stood out as a museum style archival piece in the auction!

Thanks OldJudge, now I need to decide how much light of day it will get .
I desperately want it on display with my other cards, but equally don't want to see that wonderful image fade in a matter of years.

Can any collectors of Old Judges give me their experience of having these photo-style cards out for viewing in non-direct room lighting? Can anyone put a time line for degradation of the image or is the fadeout overstated?

Won these two.

Scott- I date the CdV based on the revenue stamp on the back. I believe they were only used in the 1864-1866 period for photographs. In Legendary's description, they refer to the reverse saying Hoboken NJ. The NJ does look like 69 in the scan. I'll get a better look when I get the CdV.
68 Hawk- Thanks! And I have to agree with Jay. Your Harry Wright is sharp.

This lot should actually date from 1879 through the early 1880s. Current thinking is that the cards that are uncoated are from 1879-1880 and the coated cards from 1881 through the early 1880s. The exciting part of the lot is that it contains the first (by far) individual card of a black athlete, Hart a pedestrian. This set is the first tobacco insert sports set.
