I like pretty much all eras of card. They're all very different and products of their time.

The way I answered one of my friends who asked several years ago was to lay one card from almost each decade on the table and explain it as a historical artifact and what it showed about that time and the prevailing attitudes/interests of the country at the time. Almost, because the Old Judges had to make do for both the 1880's and 1890's. A point that also showed how things in general moved a bit more slowly without the level of communication that was developing.

They finally understood my collecting not just of cards, but all the other stuff as well. And they thought the cards as historical artifacts were pretty cool, even if they didn't want to collect themselves.
