I wish I had known about Pinketon Post Cards in my younger days. Remembering back, I can think of at least 20 I have read about in different auctions. I was always told that they were produced at a much later time and weren't really worth anything.

As far as finds, I once found (mid 1990's) about 1,100 N cards in a small town. I didn't buy them because I didn't have the money. The seller kept about 100 Indian cards and sold the rest for $3,500. Included in the cards WERE N 28s of Clarkson, Keefe and Caruthers, along with Annie Oakley, Wild Bill Hickok and some other sports cards. I found out later there were a couple of complete sets of Fish and also Birds series cards. There were a bunch of actresses and some hold-to-light playing cards.
