I know studio photos used in Old Judge Cabinets are considered "proofs" in the hobby. What about this card that ended last night in Baggers (previously in a Mile High Auction in October):
Link to Auction:
Lot # 16 - 1889 Goodwin Cabinet Proof - John Leighton, Omaha - FAIR
My question is does it look period and is it possible that it is just a photo from a studio that was pasted to another board at another time? I ask because I know of other cards that were being sold as "proofs" that were done at a later time.
