The 1869 P & S already is an original photo...however somewhere in the literature I read that mammoth plates of these Peck and Snyders were made, though to my knowledge none have survived.

There is a photo in the Spalding Collection at the New York Public Library which I feel would be the most valuable in the hobby. It's a mammoth plate salt print of the 1860 Brooklyn Excelsiors featuring James Creighton. If that one were for sale I think a quarter of a million dollars would not be unreasonable.
