Peck & Snyder's WERE sold as cards!!!
 

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>"According to the inflation calculator, a card costing a dime in 1865 would cost $1.18 today in 2005 dollars".<br /><br />Can this be true?<br /><br />A 10-1 ratio? That would make a current wage earner of $1000/week = $100/week wage earner then. And that can not be true! $100/week was earnings typical of the 1950s or so.<br /><br />Or is my thinking (on this) off?
