very nice, you were the winner on this one recently? I was hoping to add that one to my collection.

Yes. My interest in the card was not because McMahon was a wrestler. I collect both the short number and "0" number Old Judge cards, and this card, number 020, was uncatalogued. The "0" number series represents boxers, wrestlers, pedestrians, and rowers in its' early numbers. Thereafter, the vast majority of the set is baseball players.

Any other known wrestlers in the set?

The only other one that I know is 028--"Joe Acton, Champion Wrestler". Six numbers still have unknown cards so it is possible that there are others. I do not have the Acton card and would love to acquire a copy.

I also need the following boxers if anyone can help:

03----Scholes
08----Mitchell
010---Larkins
025---Allen
030---Murphy

And 027---Dr McGlynn, whoever he might be

Per Wikipedia, Dr. Edward McGlynn was a Catholic priest in New York City who clashed with the church hierarchy, notably Cardinal McCloskey (who also appeared on a card or two during this period), over his support for Progressive causes. No connection to wrestling, or any other sport, as far as I can determine.

Thanks for the info. Goodwin & Co threw a few strange subjects into the set. In the short number series there is a random card of the Mayor of Boston, but no other political cards.
