Julie VognarI had no IDEA what the card (lot 11) would go for. I knew that since it's a "Barker Old Judge," (in a Lipset auction!) it probably wouldn't be cheap. I really don't think, though, that the price (2301.00 bef 10% and shipping) reflects the Lemke price of--=GASP--4.5+K+ in the 2004 catalogue. It's hard to bid for an Old Judge with Barker's handwriting in a Lipset auction--but also, it's the logical place to find one!
I actually had an eye on lot 10--the pale OJ Griffith--as well but decided before 6 PM yesterday evening that I might not have the dough for both cards (as it happens, I would have had, with nothing left over for Sloate). I have no 19th century Griffiths, and I think the OJ is about all she wrote. Anybody know who won it?
