I'm with Josh and perhaps others . . .
I believe the "best looking cards ever" reside with the photographic cabinet cards found on colored mounts. Here is one of my favorites from Goodwin & Co., a black mount with gold gilded edges and print/advertising. I'm partial to real photographs and enjoy the extra color provided by the colored mounts. Goodwin & Co. had the recipe right some 120 years ago.
