[net.rec.coins] Large Notes - How popular are they?

How popular is collecting Large Size Currency?  Several years ago I purchased
a substantial collection of them, from the Educationals of 1890's to the
U.S. Note and Silver Certificates of 1923, all in excellent condition because
I was led to believe that this was a sleeper item and would greatly increase
in popularity and as a result in value.  How many of you in netland actually
collect these 'saddle blankets"?  Is there much of a market for them?  How
about the National Bank Notes, are they any better?  How about some discussion
on them?
