Andy BaranI'm wondering if maybe the premiums didn't sell well in 1870 because of their price, which could explain why there are none today. If the CDV's only cost $0.10 each, it seems that the premium for $1.50 may have been beyond the budget of the typical "collector" of the day. The gap just seems very large. Does anyone know what $1.50 in 1870 would equivalize to in today's dollars?
