I thought I'd add the last piece of the 1888 puzzle, an Omaha card. This card was listed in the book, as one might expect, as a pose of Joe Miller. However, after publication, it was noticed via comparison to Tug Wilson's glass plate negative (also pictured in book) that this card pictures Tug Wilson. This led to an article by Joe and myself in Old Cardboard and the reclassification of three Joe Miller poses to being Tug Wilson cards. Thus, the number of subjects in the Old Judge sets now stands at 522. Note: For those who still believe that the name on the card rather than the image determines whose card it is, the number of subjects in the set is still 522. Wilson would not count but Struck would.
