I know that an 1887 Oshkosh Cabinet card has been floating around recently and that it recently went at auction for $6k+. I was close to bidding top dollar on this particular PC, but did some research (thanks to the many outstanding websites of forum members), and decided to not bid on this particular auction because I feel that the PC is not authentic...or if it is "authentic", then I believe it was made in the 1920's (not pre-1900) based on the AZO stamp back design. Any thoughts on this? I hope my suspicion is right and that I didn't just miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime!!! The auction ended at <$250.
