Will be willing to trade issues to make a complete run. I have the near run but I think I'm missing 2 or 3.

About 20 some odd years ago, Lew had an Anson in uniform in one of his auctions. I remember talking to him about it. Believe it might have fetched
around 50k or so. Of course, the card was reputedly Anson's head but another player's uniformed body.

Also, at issue 34 the paper style changed to, what looks and feels like, newspaper pulp.......

Not reputedly, definitely. Abner Dalrymple's uniform. You wanna know how I know? Because the Bible told me so... see page 94 of the OJ book!

Lew said that in the last issue of The Old Judge (January 1994), he gave a value of $18,000 for the OJ Anson in uniform. That's quite an increase from $1000 nine years earlier in the first issue of TOJ, yet not as high as it got a few years later. The auction you're thinking of was in 2001, and the Anson in uniform went for $66,503:

My issue 38 does not have an issue number or date. Also, if anyone who has issue 5A wants to post it I would appreciate it.

Thanks Joe

I'd post something for 5A but I'd feel odd not doing without Lew's permission.
Besides, I'm horrible with adding graphics to forum.

5A content:

COVER
"The Restoration of Cards", "Opening Comments" and "National Registration News"

pages 2 and 3 are 20th Cent. Tobacco Price Guide content.

BACK
Continuation of "The Restoration of Cards" from the cover page.

One thing that really tripped me out was that 5A is on the back, Julie Vognar wrote a paragraph about her thoughts on altering cards. Holy crud , I haven't seen or heard of Julie in ages. Total trip.

I knew posting these would raise concerns and that is why I spoke with Lew before doing it. He is fine with us posting any of them, he told me. Yes, I thought Julie was an interesting write-in too as I subtly mentioned in the post when I made it, in the other thread.

I had a nice email exchange with Julie about 5 years ago, prompted by happening to have read a book review on Amazon and realizing she was the one who had written it.

Here are a few pages from number 2...

Thanks for posting this stuff Leon, its all pretty cool and gives a good understanding of the vibe of the hobby 30+ years ago.
