Greg--I had a few M-116s in my collection, and only started adding to them last spring at Ft. Washington. Thanks to John Billingsly at the National, and a few other dealers, I have joined Tim, Tbob and Ted Z. and am now in the hunt. I find them very appealling (despite Bill's red hair remark) in the same way that I like T-206 portraits, W-600, Jones, Keyser and Arras, and any of the cabinet/CDV types of cards. I've often wondered if M-116, certainly T-204, and to a degree T-222, aren't less expensive versions of cabinet cards. They all have a photographic quality that I find satisfingly appealing. Maybe we can win you over!

Cheers, Mike
