Default 19th Century Question

Posted By: Albie O'Hanian

I am slowly trying to complete a Hall of Fame collection. I have one 19th century card to date-a Tobin Lithograph card of Tim Keefe that I bought from Frank Ward. I do not care what set the card is from as long as I have a card of that player. My grading criteria is G/VG or better but the card front must have decent eye appeal. The price guides I use have really low prices for 19th century material relative to what actual selling prices are and I seldom win a card in auction (either my bids are too low or I leave it until the last minute and am unable to bid). My question: What sets will be the easiest for me to find Hall of Famers?(old judges, tobins, mayos, ginters etc.) Also, I know of very few vintage dealers that sell cards directly and not in auction. Julie mentioned Terry Knouse before and I know Frank Ward, who else is good for 19th century material?
Thanks
Albie

I believe that 19thcentury.org is closing up an auction in the next day or two that might be a good source of material, too...

The Tobin's are reltively inexpensive (I said relatively), and contain some more HOFers. For a cheapo, there's the 'Baby' King Kelly and 'Baby' Cap Anson Comic Trade Cards. Keep your eye on the non-sport trade card section of eBay for those.

Though this doesn't count as cards, you get get original 19th century Harper's and Leslie's Woodcuts that are relatively inexpensive and contain a wide vareity of tough 19th century HOFers, including the Wright Brothers, Cal McVey and Al Spalding.

N28s are cheaper than Old Judges, but Old Judges are by far the most plentiful

By the way, comntact Mark Macrae (MMa3026559@aol.com) for some really cheap Old Judges that have problems (like the one I just traded to Ben--but even cheaper), which he's bought from me over the years. All HOFers.
