I knew a guy who had an ULTRA rare mid-1800s cloth tintype-- a tintype photograph on cloth instead of metal. I knew they theoretically existed but had never before seen one. He had an impossible time selling it for a fair price because it was so obscure people didn't understand what it was. I recommended he donate it to a museum.

1886 Hancock Clothing. Each of the three known subjects is unique. That probably qualifies.

Probably had a hard time selling because to most people it would be an unknown sort of object. One that didn't make sense to them historically and might be presumed to be some sort of modern fake.
Care of it would be different than care of a tintype too, perhaps outside of what most tintype collectors would know how to do. Tintypes are pretty easy to care for, one on cloth? Whole different thing. Add in that most people try to fit their collecting into fairly tight niches.. I have a friend who collects pretty much only two things. He finishes most of Brimfield in 2-3 hours, I'm probably just getting to the second or third field by then. I don't go to antique shows in the same car with him anymore. |

That TTT Ramly Johnson is 100% awesome. If it ever went up for sale, it would go for a small fortune

It's hard to put a price on a one of a kind card. It may be a little too well-known to be truly obscure.
