Default Harry

Who is Joe P?, do you also collect Detroit OJs?

I thought it was interesting as well Julie. Harry Wright is a little different than many Old Judges in that Goodwin & Company didn't simply re-use his 1887 pose for all subsequent issues and call it good. Instead, Goodwin decided to publish one portrait shot for 1887 and then introduce a couple new shots of Harry the following year (in a similar but different suit). Many players/managers that were issued cards in 1887 would have only those poses issued over the four year run. Not Harry, he had two new poses added in 1888.

I also wish the listing of poses by the Cartophilic Society etc. would do so in chronological order. Pose #3 should be pose #1 since it was the first Harry Wright card issued etc.
