Buying my first Old Judge (OJ) card - advice?

[Belfast1933]

I have always appreciated getting advice here from collectors who have vastly more experience than me in areas that interest me.

I have always admired the Old Judge (OJ) cards but have never pulled the trigger or put a ton of thought into it - perhaps, until now.

I am a HOF collector and also a Boston local/fan so I would probably narrow my choices that way - I also have seen how faded images can be and wouldn’t be willing to spend $$ on a card without a sharp image.

I’m not too worried about the grade - an “authentic” would be fine… numerical is better, of course.

And lastly - some of the fun cards have great and super cheesy poses, sliding into bases, hanging fly balls on a string and I have also heard some like the “hot dog” brand included on some cards.

My budget is not terribly impressive but I could probably sell enough to get something in the $1500-2000 range.

I’d love and welcome thoughts and advice as I start my Old Judge journey!

Thx all
