How about one example from the other Old Judge baseball set?

Speechless...just super Jim. :eek:

The best mustache on a card ever, I challenge anyone to beat that stache! Jim here is the little known N167 variation you will need to find for your set.

Very excited to add another OJ, thanks Greg.

Bought the book...made a purchase (or two)
 

After buying The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Company (1886-1890) (I know I am late to the party, but it really is a wonderful resource, guys. Thank you for taking the time to write it. If I could do one thing 1/10th as beneficial to the hobby, I would certainly have accomplished something.), I decided to take the plunge and buy a few cards. I decided to attempt a few complete player/pose runs, beginning with Jerry Denny. Welcome to my addiction.

here's one for viewing

new pickup ...

Great California Brown, Rob.
It's been great reading about all these guys in the book. Not only is the book a great lesson on the cards of Goodwin & Co., but also it is a great primer on the early history of the game. Brown is one of the guys I considered collecting. Still not sure who I am going to collect next. Maybe van Haltren? Maybe the players from the Syracuse team (where I live)?

I collect only Washington players.

Looking to keep this great thread going. Here's some Hank O'Day poses/variations. Actually, I no longer have the card on the far right - sold it on eBay shortly after O'Day's election to the HOF was announced.
Val

nice O' Days', Dennys' and Connor,... a couple more..
 

OJ and related cabinets
 

I've posted these before, but finally learned how to post pictures from offsite...

These are my best Old Judge images...........

Great images guys. You have acquired some beautiful cards. Rob-I really like that proof.

Rob, I've always felt the same about Chicago. Both of mine are Chicago. Here is my favorite.

I agree Jay, some gorgeous cards. If we are extending to cabinets, I'll share one of my better images. It also represents the only copy of Bennett that I'm aware of with "DETROIT" not erased from his jersey. I've now studied 5 different N173 Bennett cards and perhaps a dozen of his N172s and this is the only one I've seen with "DETROIT" still present. This would mean nothing to others but kind of neat for a Detroit collector.

That Bennett is awesome.

Amazing cards everyone, here are a few more-

Joe-- that Bennett is truely a great card. It belongs nowhere else than in your Detroit collection.

Joe and Jay,

I really want to thank you both for all of the information that you have given me regarding the N172 cards. Your book is an icon in my home.

I also wanted to post the Stump Weidman (Weichman) - Detriots / New Yorks misspelled card for others to see.

Ted

Great cards, all
 

2 new arrivals this week Daly port and another McAleer.....

Great card Joe

Thanks for the compliments on Bennett. Ted, that is a neat Wiedman variation.

The scan below represents my newest pick-ups (both arrived today). Can anyone figure out why I'd possibly have interest in these two cards? If you know my collecting focus and have really studied the OJ set, you just might be able to figure it out. Jay Miller is excluded from this competition :)

Are you collecting 0-numbers??

Everyone has posted some great stuff so far... I would but I'm bed ridden. Anyway, this thread in entertaining so thanks, and I hope it keeps going!

Bradley, Worcesters with a nice white beard.

Incredible cards from everyone else!

Alan

In the right ball park, but not exactly. Those two poses represent OJ zero number 0480 and 0509 which bookend the Detroit Wolverine run. The Wolves run uninterrupted from 0481 to 0508. I always thought it would be neat to collect all the zero numbered cards but don't have the budget for such an endeavor when my focus spans outside of just N172s. I'm happy with a run of 30. I'll leave it to someone else to tackle the 1887 zero numbers. The design is classic and the challenge is far more attainable than many other OJ subsets. I'm actually a bit surprised there isn't someone collecting the set in this fashion (at least not that I'm aware of). The zero numbers cover all 8 National League teams plus the outdoor Brooklyn from the American Association.

I should have known that! :)

Thanks for clearing it up, Joe.

Here are mine...
 

Love Net54!

Old Judges
 

I'm late to the party...but here's my most recent pick-up:

Beautiful Ewing card, Derek. Never seen that pose before.

Thanks.

I had seen the pose (bat at 45), but from 1887 and saying "Capt." instead of "C.", but this one is awesome (in my opinion), since the image is so wide, at least compared to the 1887 version! The only thing holding this card back is some writing on the back...oh, and that it's not his "rookie" card.

My very first two Old Judge cards after many years of tackling the T 206. I am already loving the challenge and the research. Thanks to Jay and Alan for these two fine cards..

Reynolds Kansas City.

Great card Kenny--I love the glove in that pose(actually both of them).

Great Card!
 

That is my favorite Reynolds pose, too.

I don't have too many of these dudes; anyhow, I don't think Fogerty nor Glasscock have been on display yet.

TED Z

Ted Z,
Love the 1888 Goodwin Champs Glasscock! Any chance you'd consider selling it? It's at the top of my want list so I have to ask. I tried to PM you but your mail is full

Reynolds has sold. Thanks for all the comments and replies.

Dan

Sorry, but I don't do PM's.

Anyhow, the N162 Glasscock is part of my Goodwin Champions set. Therefore, it's not for sale.

TED Z

No problem, had to ask

Louis Schoeneck
 

http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5542/9...c1e4bc5a_b.jpg


This card shows Schoeneck in a Chicago Maroons uniform. Somehow the photo was doctored for this Indy card. The "Chicago" has been removed from the jersey, similar to the way some T213 jerseys are altered to reflect "Traded" cards.

In 1888 Schoeneck played 70 games with 287 ABs for the Maroons before moving to the Hoosiers later that year to split time at first base with Dude Esterbrook after the preseason bust at 1B by Walter Bogert.

RC

Cool pose on the OJ

Thanks. Yeah, I think it's amazing the amount of detail that went into producing the n172 cards. The Jumbo Schoeneck examples on page 373 of the OJ book illustrate that the Indianapolis captioned cards have "Chicago" removed from the photo as in the 404-3 pictured in the book.

It is a precursor to the way the makers of the T213 series handled this Rudolph card by removing the "Toronto" to indicate a team change.

Got this card several years ago in a trade with Mr. OJ, and I'm still lovin' it! Jay, thanks again for the trade!
Best,
Val

Val--A good trade is when both parties come away happy, and stay happy. Our trades were good trades.

All the best--Jay

OJ with hanging balls

Another tough OJ that I just picked up from Jay, who always has a stockpile of nice cards available. Nice cards everyone.
