Still like my first Old Judge, which is this Ezra Sutton (only have less than a handful of Old Judge cards...I decided long ago my budget could only handle one century of cards, and the 20th century won out). I think this one cost me somewhere between $11 and $13 from an SCD ad from Wayne Miller(?), and it was a sight unseen randomly selected card by the seller. All of this says it was a fair amount of time ago.

Took me ten years to find a Mansfield Old Judge example. Alcott is the only player on the team and more than half of his cards show him on St Louis. In general, he's not one of the most common players, so between the scarcity and team collectors needing him, this is a tough card to find.

I don't have many OJs, but probably these two.

[RCMcKenzie]

Collecting OJ's by team or by player can make the giant set seem less daunting, but this Gillespie run took 10 years. I may never finish the Esterbrook run.

[Fred]

It's my favorite OJ, but it aint mine...

I do like this one too, thank goodness this one's mine.

[kkkkandp]

I have way too many favorites to choose from, but I particularly like these two guys because I became friendly with their their nephew, Ed, when trying to correct the mislabeling that the Library of Congress had on their website. It was not until I got Ed to send a request, that the LOC swapped the brothers' names they had incorrectly associated with their pictures. Ed knew Gus personally and told me of his visits to "Uncle Gus'" house, so that's about as close as I was going to come to actually knowing a player in the Old Judge set.

[Eric72]

My one and only. Picked it up a few years ago from a fellow board member.

[triwak]

My HOFers. Most were well loved! And still are.

[triwak]

And my only N173

[RCMcKenzie]

Great cards, y'all.
With my extra free time, I did some inventory. Here's my updated Esterbrook run. I bought a card on eBay today that I've been looking at for what seems like 5 years. Looking for...146-3 NYNL, 146-4, 146-5 Indy, 146-7 NYNL

Here’s another pose of Alcott on the Mansfields, this one with a team change on his uniform. Below that is a similar team change card of Conway on the Worcesters. These are two more of my favorites from my collection.

I can keep this going...

Frank Hankinson was the last card I needed to complete my Old Judge New Jersey subset - all the players who were either born in or died in the State of New Jersey. Hankinson died in 1911 in the town in which I spent most of my youth - Palisades Park. While my wait was not as long as Joe Gonsowski's for his Gilligan - Detroit card, it was pretty significant (roughly 10 years)!

[JustinD]

I have only a handful of OJs, but this is my favorite as it sat on my want list for quite a while.

[JohnP0621]

Easy choice for me.

What a BEAUTY!!
Love this photo. My favorite also.

[tlwise12]

I have four of the five poses for this player. I'm still looking for the last one after 10 years.

[oldjudge]

I really like this large border top sheet margin card of Sid Farrar with the team name from the sheet included. These only occur on 1887 Type B cards.

Okay, where did that Snyder come from??? Not even in the OJ book as a subject, never mind the sharp portrait.

Here are a couple of mine; including my favorite N172, George "Piano Legs" Gore.
I waited a long time to find the perfect one for my Maine collection.

Tanner, that should look familiar! ;)

LOVE the standing bat cards!

[judsonhamlin]

Damn you photoshop. But Pop Snyder is one of those 'why no card' players...

Its actually someone else’s photoshop creation that I believe was posted on Net54 several years ago on April 1st. Couldn’t resist.

LOVE the standing bat cards!

Kevin, what if I told you that I have the bat that was used in those photographs? And I have an LOA/COA/TPG document indicating it's the bat and it's authentic! Tell you what, I'll trade it to you for your frigging McPhee card (that we all know you "absconded" from Sasquatch)! By the way, I never saw the death cert on Sasquatch so he could be walking cross country to get his McPhee card back.. :p

So, Fred....let's see the bat! And some provenance, of course! :rolleyes:

As for Norris...he's deader than the 2020 Final Four!

I've only got two, both Hoosiers!

[Den*nis O*Brien]

My only combination so equal my favorites. I have really appreciated the examples shown previously. I was particularily taken with the players from the Mansfields and the Worcesters. Some of the other images shown were exceptional. Just overall a wonderful issue and terrific examples shown.

[oldjudge]

Dennis-Isn’t it fascinating how the cabinet shows more of the original image? Great combo!

[DeanH3]

I can finally contribute to this thread.

[ValKehl]

Hank O'Day is in the HOF as an umpire.

[RCMcKenzie]

Still need pose 1 Burns to match the Dogs Head, included here is an 1890 pose 3, CHHH, "E" for Everett NL for now...

[kkkkandp]

My only combination so equal my favorites.

Dennis:

You've inspired me. I love having the matching poses of N172 and N173. I have a George Van Haltren matching pair, but I also have a matching studio proof of the Gus Weyhing N172 I posted previously.

Thank you Jay and other members who commented on the "Pairing" of N172 & N173 Pfeffer. The N173 pose was previously uncataloged at the time I showed it to Bob Lemke (who is greatly missed RIP) and then he included it in the subsequent SCD "Big Book". I can thank Lew Lipset for connecting me with that example way back when he lived in Center Reach NY. And thank you David Bryan for the N172....my first about 30 plus years ago.
And...The Goodwin book is an extraordinary work and much appreciated in my library. If anyone out there does not have a copy....I highly recommend it.

[Joe Hunter]

My only OJ. Similar to the bottom trim on Ken’s N173 KC Hamilton.

[honus94566]

I only have a few OJ's, but this is definitely the best

[kkkkandp]

i can't believe no one has put up this pair yet...

[oldjudge]

Probably no one put up the pair because Williamson and Hahm is so tough.
