It is shown that Sandage's arguments for a constant mean surface brightness of first-ranked cluster ellipticals are incorrect. In addition, a cosmic dispersion of 0.29 mag is found and first-ranked galaxies in irregular clusters appear to have brighter than average surface brightness. The potential usefulness of a surface brightness-redshift plot as an important cosmological test is discussed.
