To the Old Judge collectors – is there anything you want me to look for? This is not a set I have much kniowledge of but am happy to try and provide any information regarding his collection as possible.

Hello Martin,

I will be in the UK on October 1st myself but woefully busy with no time to play. A fellow collector and board member, Charles Hausberg, took pictures of over 20 images we were missing in the OJ book during a February 2012 visit. There are some amazing cards in the Wharton-Tigar collection. Here is one example, the only known example of this Flynn pose.
