As a collector, I'm very partial to originals. But on a case by case basis there will be worthwhile and valuable photos that sometimes fall into other categories. It's myopic and shallow to to say a photo's value is based strictly by what category it falls into. There are other factors. For example, a later made large display photo can be rare and desirable. And N172 Old Judges have second generation images, though their value is as baseball cards and, of course, are still from the 1880s.
But, as I said, I'm partial to originals.
