Only OJ's
 

When I'm asked to see some of our real old ball cards. These stun those unfamiliar with the hobby more than any other Issue, ghost, freak, scrap etc (those are our masterpieces, exclusively). I know it's a rehash. But we're adding fresh collectors daily. Post your Old Judge!

Good call, Steve - friends are always amazed by these works of art from 125+ years ago!

I will spare you the Phillies today since the ones above are much nicer than mine but here is one of the few non-phillies in my collection...

I'll post a few...and vent while I'm doing it. :D

All four of these have been deemed just Authentic by SGC. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. Pretty darned nice looking Authentics, huh?

Awesome cards, here are a few more-

Awesome cards everybody! You motivated me to get atleast one OJ this year.

Nice cards!

I don't own any OJs at the moment, but some day I will have one in my collection.

From all the cards posted so far, Gleason would be my pick.

Angyale - Its good to see you posting again. Hope all is well.


Jantz

LOL--Leon, my goal is to post an image of me holding your quarter with my thumb.

That thumb has touched some of my cards, so I had SGC pedigree them with "Thumb" to add future value and history just in case.

John--that group is breathtaking! Well done my friend!

It's nice to see a few Columbus cards

Steve....
 

Great to have you posting! I LOVE O.J.s next to T206 Printer's scraps/ freaks....Great cards everyone....id have more OJs , but I spent my P+J money on the FREAKS:):D


Wonka:eek:

Here are two poses of Zinn I own

Nice, Pete where is your neighborhood again?:)

Wish I had more of these because I do like them a lot.

I'll play

Wow, Kenny!

Jim B amazing cards as always I really dig that Robinson of yours.

Very impressive Kenny! What a great group.

Thanks guys. They aren't nearly as visually appealing as John's, but I like them anyway.

Sold all my OJ's a few yrs ago and these were the last 2 to go!

(I have since picked up one just to have it)--(the raw one)

Just came home to this thread. Love it! Keep em coming...

My two Connecticut team players (always looking for others!) ...

Some really nice ones Kenny!!

Great thread - I just started a low end OMAHA run this year, I'm only up to 2

Ahhhhhh.....
 

.....I could look at these all day (and night)!

Beauties everyone!

Can you spare a couple Bucks?
 

A couple of Buck Ewings:

And a couple of the tougher HOFers:

What on earth is going on in that second Ewing pose, Blair?!

Great cards everyone!

Cheers,

Richard

I collect only OJs of Washington players. I took this scan of my Hank O'Days before I sold the card on the far right on eBay and traded one of the two cards on the left with identical poses to a Board member.
Val

For my friend Val

Fair question, Richard...:D. I suppose the photographer thought since old Buck was a catcher, they might try a pose that looked something like a catcher...but it didn't quite work out :eek:.

Cheers,
Blair

Cards from four teams that have just one player representing them in the set. New Haven, Burlington, Rochester and Mansfield

Wow, again you guys continue to blow my mind with the cards you have in your collections! My one and only. I hope to add more Pittsburgh players soon.

OJ
 

Good ole Pete !

Nice "Kid" Jerry!

Ummmm Bruce as usual.....wow.

John

Mike, not funny dude. That chick's meaner than a pole cat.

One of my new favorites

Jay, that card is crazy neat to know there's new stuff still to be found.

Like the name...
 

Oh, John...I'm still waiting for that Buffalo card to show up! :D

Hi Jay,
Yes, I'm still looking for a Wise-Washington OJ, as well as Morrill-Washington. As you know, both of these players are relatively easy to find with Boston, but quite tough to find with Washington. I'm not picky about condition (hint, hint!).
Best,
Val

So much eye candy, I love it!! Nice Ewing Jay. I was surprised to see an 1887 version of Ewing surface when none had been documented for so long. We knew he was photographed in 1887, but no N172 to show for it.

I will post some of my favorite Detroit cards when I have time to do them justice (new scanner). In the meantime, I will post a recent N172 pick-up of mine that was previously only known as an N173 (locked up in the Wharton-Tigar collection at the British Museum). It is an ugly card but the only known copy of this pose as an N172 (although I'm sure there are others). Beatin played on the 1887 Detroit Wolverine team so I collect him even though he was not issued a card with Detroit. My expectation of actually checking this pose off my want list was nil to none.

Nice pickup Joe, that card is on my list also.

Joe M.

A few more:

Jay- when I first showed you that inventory list (with photos) back in 2001, were you aware of the significance of that card, or was it something you learned about later on?

Incredible cards, thank you to the OP.... the close ups on some of the images in this thread are beyond stunning.

I recently started collecting NYs & Brooklyns.... this is a good opportunity to share the additions (as a grouping) with those who have been nice enough to chat with me about OJ & 19th century cards, and also those who helped add to the collection.

The cards in this thread would make one hell of a starter set. :)

Phil Knell

Barry--either the card wasn't in the images you showed me or I didn't notice it.

It was there Jay. I still have the photocopies she made for me. At the time I thought it was simply a common HOFer.

In that case I missed it. I might have been more focused in on the three Gypsy Queen HOF cards.

A toughie for Omaha collectors

Wow nice card Jay, soon to be off to GCC for some work and to be framed...not baseball but cool.

Great poster John. I've never seen that one before. Beautiful image on that Long too.

That card must be worth at least $500...maybe more.

A Few More...
 

...of my favorites.

OJs
 

Two of my better ones... Have a few more good ones on the way...

Kevin, gorgeous cards that rarely surface. I really like the Baldwin & Vaughn. The Vaughn must have been at far left border of uncut sheet. The O'Connell isn't half bad either.

Bill, nice start to your NY and Brooklyn collection.

Hoy
 

One of only 2 OJs I have left....

is there any 1 pose of Hoy that is tougher than the others???
always wondered because I rarely see this pose offered...usually see the batting or throwing pose
