Hi Phil, I think that's a good approach. As both Doug and Barry have mentioned, the woodcuts are under appreciated and as a result also under valued especially compared to 'cards.' That doesn't mean that they are less collectable and as you know, the tough ones are highly desirable and very rarely come up in auctions.
I collect both cards and woodcuts. I definitely look at the woodcuts much more often than my cards. While I consider both an art form, I think size matters
and the larger woodcuts (whether cut out of NY Clippers) or a full page print are truly impressive.
