This is an interesting observation on your part......"It feels like, on average, N cards (my focus) collected by UK
collectors are in much higher grades."


The N162 cards I acquired from the English gentleman were Excellent. Furthermore, none of them had the usual
glue or photo album page residue on their backs....typical of many 19th Century cards found in this country.


Also, you alluded to the "Geo. S Harris & Sons, Lith. Phila." trademark (TM) on the some of the N162's. American
Lithographic Co. purchased Harris Litho.; but, I am not certain that it occured during the press runs of the N162
cards. If so, then that might explain why some cards were printed with the TM, while other N162's don't have it.
