Some of the spots actually appear to be on all three photos, showing up in varying degrees of darkness. And some do not.

Generally, the main issues you'll have in selling it would relate to the faded condition and the spotting that shows more prominently due to the fading. But some collectors do like buying 19th-century photos of well-known people. I wouldn't think this one would have a high value, but should be sellable (if that's a word).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
