If I were a nut-level collector, and I had lots of money, I might collect Luna Park cards. Those heyday early amusement parks are fascinating.
I think I still have a book about old Coney Island from years back---- Amusing the Million, it was called. Contextualized the escapes for the masses in NYC nicely. Talked about the history of Central Park from that POV a little too--- like it used Coney Island as a case study for broader concepts.
