These are great cards and really haven't had their day yet. But it's coming.

That Radbourn is a beauty! And I'm hoping their day isn't coming anytime soon. I'd like to pick up several more before I'm priced out.

I'd recommend an N173 to everyone just as a type card. The photo quality on the cards is amazing. I was lucky enough to get two of them many years ago for a great price. I won one off of Ebay for a very good price, then saw the seller had one that didn't get a bid, so I made a lower offer to see if he would take it and combine ship the two cards. No scans available right now, but as someone who has collected Old Judge cards since I was a teen, I can't recommend enough for people to get at least one N173 card for their collection.

The primary reason for the superiority of N173 images is that they are first generation photos while N172s are second generation photos.

Is that true for the Kelly as well? That one doesn’t seem to be as crisp as the others

All old judge cabinets were made directly from the glass plate negative. All N172s are rephotographed cabinet size prints. So yes, it is true for all cabinets. What happened to the cabinet over the last 135 years will impact how it looks today.
Think about that--135 years. I guarantee that neither of us will look that good at 135.
