I am an avid collector of cabinet cards and imperial cabinets as well. These were much more expensive to produce and thus fewer survive. If you look at the field of Ambrotypes or daguerotypes, whole plates bring more than 1/2 plates which bring more than 1/4 plates, which bring more than 1/6y plates and so on, However the subject can make smaller images out price larger ones.

But as Corey stated, why wouldn't an identical larger image bring more? In my eyes it is more desirable.
