I have a late 1800'sto early 1900 stereo scope with over 70 cards. How can i determine
a value for this. I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I am new to this.

I moved this to this more appropriate forum, chaser. Please post pics if possible as there are many models of stereoscope viewers and hundreds of cards. Most cards are worth $2-5 each but some are worth much more depending on their content/condition/photographer.

Never a dumb question. Agree with the others! Pics! Another tidbit of advice...my viewer has a tiny tiny little date on it on one of the brass parts. Many of them do. You may need a magnifying glass to find a date but it could be there. There's a big difference in value between one made in the 1850's and one made in 1910. Some cards are $2 and some are several hundred dollars each so pics of the oldest dated ones would be great. If you have any civil war ones that are actual photos, those are worth a good amount.
Can you believe the card posted on wikipedia?! I'll let ya'll discover it for yourself!
