What does everyone think of the 1869 Cincy CDV that sold for just a little over $10K?

My thought was it was about right for what it is..blank back and no names or advertising. Nice card though......Any one with some knowledge of them could differ....

Leon hit it on the nose. The CdVs were issued over several years by various entities. The only CdV that can be tied to 1869 is the one with the Chadwick book ad on the back. This one had a decent image, but was trimmed and, as Leon said, was blank backed.

My first Ruth item to add to the collection...

Very nice card, Pete. That one brought quite a price.

Congratulations!

Not to hijack this thread, but can't some others be dated to 1869 based on the Peck and Snyder ad on the reverse and which Nassau St address is listed?

[oldjudge]

Gary---As long as it is not 126 Nassau. That would preclude it from being 1869. Also, a different address would make it pre-1871, not necessarily 1869.
