Fred--how did you get a Corcoran away from John?
|
Jay,
I did it the only way possible... I BEGGED..... I mean really BEGGED... I threw my dignity out the window and BEGGED.... I almost had to fly to the east coast and carry a cardboard sign that said "will BEG for a Larry card...".... |
Kevin,
That Hafner came from the Oregon Find. You can barely read the name Hafner at the bottom, it is very faint. After Dave sold it to me he kind of let me know that he let it go too cheap... :D Well, I didn't think it was that cheap... |
That must have been the only card from that find that got sold too cheap.

Don't be bitter. I'm sure another Taylor Shafer is just around the corner. |

Printer's scrap is unheard of in the Old Judge set. This is the only such piece I have ever seen. Please note that the Gleason Browns Champ shares the card with a bit of low number series card 5, which is the King Kelly catch, hands chest high pose.
|
Jay, that has to be one of the coolest cards I've seen. Wow!
|
What's great about that card is that although only a tiny remnant of the second card is visible, it's the number #5, positively identifying it. Very impressive.
|
Really neat card Jay.

This is one of the most interesting Old Judges I have ever found. As most/some of you know, sheets of Old Judges were made by rephotographing cabinet size photographs produced from glass plate negatives. If you look closely at the bottom of this card you will see the words "OLD JUDGE CIGARETTES". Those words, in that format, are not found on any N172. The only place to find that line is on the mount of an Old Judge cabinet. Thus, when making this card (and possibly the sheet it came from, Old Judge cabinets were used to provide cabinet sized images, instead of just albumen photograph prints.
|
The "Thumb" strikes again...very cool card Jay!

That is a cool item.

Great pickup Steve. O'Connor is a very scarce card.
|
Jay showed some non-Baseball so I don't feel bad showing these two Goodwin & Co. cards, I have never seen another of each "set"...

Just back from vacation and catching up to more beautiful examples.. thank you to all posting.
Macullar/Maskrey misidentified - New example Maskrey in photo, Macullar listed - ball cropped out of photo (slight variant to 295-1) I am really getting a kick out of searching for OJs out there. Finding good and bad cards out there. |
The nicest "pink" OJ I've seen . . .
|
Jay,
If you're still following this thread I had a quick question - Where in the "OJ spectrum" of "hard to get" would you rate the Phenomenal Smith portrait card? How does this card rate in the order of "rarity" when compared to the spotted ties? Thanks! |
Hi Fred! The Phenominal Smith portrait is a very scarce card, as scarce or scarcer than most of the spotted ties, possibly with the exceptions of Behel and Brady. It is scarcer than all of the Connor, Gerhardt, Kelly, Welch, Esterbrook, Orr, and Lynch script cards (one Lynch script pose may be as scarce). Unfortunately, it also tends to come with a light photo.

Who thinks Jay needs a manicure? ;)
