1869 Cincinnati CdVs

[barrysloate]

REA actually has a Peck and Snyder along with a CdV, making it a total of four. And that CdV is a new format I haven't seen before. It appears that the Red Stockings were such a phenomenon in their day that any number of businesses capitalized on that popularity. Wonder how many total images of all kinds still survive?

Hi Barry! Glad you are feeling better.

First of all glad to see you posting again Barry. I hope you get to feeling better too.

The Peck and Snyders have certainly started coming out of the woodwork recently. Categorizing them as the smaller or larger ones, I wonder how many are really in existence? It has to be more than the "20" number, even for just the larger ones, that we have commonly seen purported. I also wonder if that decreases their value, or if the demand is still there to keep them at current levels? It seems like the larger ones, with the Peck and Sndyer guy on back, have been going in the 40k-50k range lately. It will be interesting to see where these ones being auctioned now will end up. Will the smaller ones overtake the larger ones in value?

Thanks Jay and Leon. Looks like I'm pretty much back to normal, after what was probably the most harrowing week of my life.
