Pre-World War II Cards

After numerous requests (well, two) I have resurrected, improved and enlarged a previous site of mine. There are now two sites, one for 19th century cards and one for pre-WW II cards. Both homepages contain a link to the other. Most of the pages contain an email link. There are over 750 cards shown, including type pieces, complete sets and near sets. You will find E-cards, D-cards, N-cards, T-cards, etc. Most of the sets began as type pieces and then things got out of hand.

What is the point of this exercise? It seems cheaper and more expedient to share my collection via the internet than to invite any and all interested parties to the west coast, and, it seems pointless to assemble the collection and not share it with those simlarly afflicted. It's not the biggest, most valuable or most comprehensive collection in the world. It's just a bunch of stuff I like. Are collectors interested in viewing the collections of others on-line? That's a good question. I am, and perhaps some of you are as well.

If you have the time to visit, let me know what you think.
