Joe_G.Well I can exceed Julies total with Detroits but I still have one of the smaller collections.
About my earlier entry, I was only trying to make a point that while many of our collections may contain a disproportionate number of cards from the first year of issue (1887), there are cards from 1887 that are difficult (Spotted Ties etc.). So rating Old Judges by scarcity by year of issue can be misleading.
Hal, someone that tracks all variations might have some bad news for you on Beckley. Perhaps Jay Miller will chime in. No Old Judge thread is official until he shares some wisdom.
