I was impressed by the strength of Old Judges is this auction. Of late, both N172s and HOF N173 have been on an uptrend. All these cards are scarce, some downright impossible, so it doesn’t take much for these prices to rise and in some cases spike sharply. The worst of the four copies of Anson in Uniform (one in Burdick collection) was sold late last year for ballpark a million dollars. So, while some areas of 19th century collectibles are soft, others are doing just fine.
