There's no free lunch, can this possibly end well?

Pre-printed or not, that’s a great card. Some of those 19th century and early 20th century CDVs and cabinets are fantastic. I’ve got a couple on my white whale wish list.

Thanks, Scott. I looked around for what Barnum cards were out there after reading Robert Wilson's 2019 biography on Barnum.

Just to clarify something from earlier in the thread, Barnum most likely never uttered the "...sucker born every minute" line that is so often attributed to him. Wilson also debunked that claim in his book.
