REA OJ Poster
 

Didn't see a thread about this. I need to get this so I can cut out the Corcoran!

Yeah pretty freaking amazing.

I'm not familiar with the set, roughly what size would this be.

Amazing piece.

That's amazing, has that sold previously in any auction?

.

That item sucks. Nobody will want it.

:D:D

Wow!

There are a handful of those advertising pieces in the hobby, and they are truly amazing. That one looks like it has at least one HOFer- Connor- and if my eyes were better I might see a few more.

And if I took even a minute to read it I would see that the HOFers are listed.

Gillespie ad cut
 

I believe this Gillespie is cut from this type of poster. It is the approximate size of an n172.

Old Judges cut from the poster typically have very thick mounts, perhaps double the thickness of a regular card.

Can I have the rest of the poster when you're done? :D

Sure, for 23/24ths of the price. I knew I've been saving up money all these years for something good...

I'll kick in another 22/24ths for the Pud card. Let me know if we're starting a bidding group.

Definitely. I can't believe in 126 years, that poster hasn't been in the hands of someone who wasn't so lazy that they couldn't pick up a pair of scissors and a ruler and cut that thing up. Making someone else do their work...typical lazy 19th century New Yorkers

Count me in for a couple cards,,, and the ad border (if it's a free extra)

Yep, another missed opportunity for a somewhat ambitious 19th century New Yorker. A midwesterner would have cut that thing to pieces years ago.

probably looking at this wrong
 

but isn't this an imperial or larger "cabinet style" photograph montage on mount and NOT a poster? I have a couple of similar ones for non-sport brands. Also I recall seeing copies of a similar mounted cabinet with the same 2 "binder"(?) holes which I always thought came from such a mount. I've heard there are some OJ experts on this here board what's in the know. Bob did call it a poster more than once Not the first time I'd be dead wrong.............

Henry--it's an advertising piece. An uncut sheet glued to a thick cardboard mount with advertising around the perimeter.

What you essentially have here is an uncut 24 card imperial cabinet. Cut it up and you have 24 normal sized N172s, although, as Barry indicated, mounted to a thicker than normal cardboard backing.

This uncut sheet and two others are pictured on page 116 of the Old Judge book.
