Joe_G.The 19th century collector might have stronger feelings on this topic than those who collect later issues. 19th century items are all over the map from small E223s to the numerous different cabinet sized cards to the imperial beauties. I personally place more value on the larger items. The 19th century collector is usually dealing in actual photos as opposed to printed cards and all else equal (content, clarity, subject material), bigger is better.
Content can also drive up the desire for a larger format. A game-in-progress photo or team picture will present better in a larger format.
BTW, I love that Hickman imperial cabinet Scott, great piece
