Message:: [QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9795421, member: 10944"]Viewing these through a proper viewer hurts my head. Give me the feeling of wearing someone’s prescription glasses but worse almost. When you’re out looking for them I suggest looking for the ones that aren’t part of the major publishers series. In New England in particular there were small local publishers of these cards. You can find them with photos that would only be of local interest. Like a local house, person, military unit, local landmark or whatnot that wouldn’t be of national or international interest. The first time I ever bought stereoview cards it was a big stack. Bought cheaply and the majority of them were not from the mass produced series. I did well on quite a few of them. Many are basically one of a kind or one of only a few maybe. It was dumb luck as I didn’t even see most of them before bidding. More luckily they all belonged to one girl. She got them as gifts over the course of like 20 years or so and dated each one. Some were quite early and the dates I’m sure helped sell them. I’m guessing other bidders just saw the stack and assumed they were of average quality/interest without inspecting them. Some of the above mentioned can be worth $50-$100 each pretty easily.[/QUOTE]
