Old Judge Transaction & Member Shout-out
 

With all of the scammers around these days I figured it would be nice to have a positive transaction story.

Thank you J56baseball for working with me on a deal for this Kid Nichols! I never thought in a million years that I would own a Nichols card, let alone an OJ. Kid will slot in nicely in my 19th century lineup as it's ace.

Thanks again,

Jeremy

Thanks for sharing
 

It’s an awesome card

🎉 Awesome card, Jeremy!

Great looking card! Nichols is a toughie! Love the contrast on that one. The image really pops.

Also good to hear of positive experiences on this forum. It’s easy to forget how many positive transactions happen every day on here. I know I certainly do quite a few deals (almost all have been positive, at least from my perspective). :D

Nice image on the card - nice score!

Beautiful card!
Congrats man.

I’m jealous. That’s one of my white whale cards.

Very neat card. I really like the team on the card ........ the "Omaha Omahogs" (1885, 1887-1890).

Interesting Facts : Kid Nichols's career win total (326) was exceeded at the time only by Cy Young and Pud Galvin and is now the seventh highest total in major league history. His 5,067 innings pitched ranks 11th all-time. He was the youngest pitcher to win 300 games, reaching that milestone at the age of 30.

After baseball, Nichols dabbled in the motion picture industry, partnering with Joe Tinker in a business that distributed movies to theatres in the midwest. An accomplished bowler, Nichols also opened bowling alleys in the Kansas City area. He won Kansas City's Class A bowling championship at age 64.

In October 1952, the 83-year-old Nichols was admitted to Menorah Hospital in Kansas City to investigate a complaint with his neck. Doctors ordered tests, but Nichols would not submit to them until after the seventh game of the World Series ended. He was later diagnosed with carcinomatosis, cancer that had spread throughout his body. He died on April 11, 1953.

Nichols took pride in throwing complete games, stating, "I take pride in two things. My election to baseball's Hall of Fame and the fact I never was removed from a game for a relief hurler.

Very interesting! Thanks for posting.
