Completing An Old Judge Pose Run

[z28jd]

After seeing Joe's Detroit collection the other day, I figured I'd share a player pose run I completed today. I finished Alex McKinnon, a Pittsburgh player and sadly, the first player from the set to pass away. I may replace the card with character someday, but for now, I'm fine with it since the picture is okay. Too many cards I want to be too picky. I wrote out McKinnon's bio a couple years ago, so you can check that just below. I also included a Pittsburgh player run I completed about ten years ago, Bill Bishop. The only player I have with more poses than McKinnon is Jimmy Ryan. I have all six poses of him, but he isn't a Pirates/Alleghenys player, so no scans!

McKinnon's 315-3 batting pose was the first Old Judge card I ever owned. I chose him as I had read previously about his untimely death during the 1887 season and was fascinated by his card. I have often thought about trying to piece together all 4 poses in each of the two types but have never brought myself to do it (it would be pretty challenging). Alex will always have a special place in my heart (Titus was my 1st T206 and I will always have a soft spot for that card as well).

I got my first card of him in 2002, so give yourself 24 years and you can do it!

lol

I got my first McKinnon in the late 1980's so if I am WAY behind, I guess I better get moving!

Cool run John, well done. Neat that you have pose 1 as #0219 (error). So you have two different poses with the same number. Pose 1 can be found as both #0217 (correct) and #0219 (error).

So Rhett, go for it, but don't stop at 8, go for all 9 N172 variations. Add the GQ and you have 10 total possibilities all dating to 1887 (GQ known for pose 2).

Thanks for that info Joe, didn't even notice.
