Default Cabinet card checklist?

Non-sport Brady photos, usually CDVs, can be found with some regularity and are often not expensive-- Civil War generals, etc. I've seen them on eBay.

His photos are easily identifiable, due to his stamp on back... If you see a CDV with "Brady's National Photographic Portrait Gallery", NYC or Washington DC address, that's Brady ... During the time period, some other photographers bought his negatives and used them to make their own photos. These vintage CDVs are easily identifiable by the text on back-- ala "Jones Studio Portrait made from Matthew Brady Negative."
