I love the D304. Was the first PreWar card I ever bought, simply because I found the image so appealing. To each his own. For example, on the whole I don't care for black-and-white postcards/oversized cards, yet I can still see why others do.

His view of not liking them? Prices are crazy!

Thought you were referring to Matty's open-mindedness to pcs as opposed to others on the board. But now I get what you mean. And yes, prices are bonkers.
