Default what do you look for in an Old Judge card?

Posted By: jeff s

price . if it's cheap, it's mine!

Even though many of my cards are pretty bad, I do like nice contrast...my serious old judge habit started when I bought several dozen oj's from TIK jr., all skinned...but almost all are just beautiful images. If there were more skinned oj's out there, I'd only collect cards with the following attributes: skinning, nice contrast, and < 12% of NM SCD price.

After that, I think a lot of people (including some of the people that have posted already who didn't mention this) look cool poses. Yeah, it isn't a grading issue, but I'd rather have an f-g two-player card or a unique pose (like the great flop/slides, like the comiskey i currently have up on ebay, which aren't unique, but i think they're cool) than another g-vg "batting" pose with the damn ball hanging on a string.
