Fake OJs on fleabay

[Fred]

Who ever bought these OJs is going to be a little disappointed. I haven't seen
these fakes on ebay for a while.

Yes, I would not be buying these.

Whomever bought these is either not going to know or have the pleasantries of returns. Not good either way.

I collect Old Judge cards of Washington players. Many years ago (10-15?) a reputable (I think) dealer at a show (possibly Ft. Washington) had a group of these for sale. I knew they weren't real OJs, but I decided to buy the Washington players he had anyway, thinking that they were likely to be vintage repros, for not too much $$.

I recall asking an OJ collector whom I can't remember (Jay M.?) about them some years ago. Unfortunately, my early-Alzheimers-like memory doesn't remember what he told me.

So, my question is, can anyone enlighten me as to the origin of these? And, is anything known about Jos. R. Royer, the Lancaster, PA, confectioner whose name and address is stamped on the backs of some of my cards (same back stamp as the one on eBay)?

Thanks in advance,
Val

In the old N54 forum you could search the threads and there were a few regarding Royer. One was about Cracker Jacks with the Royer stamp and the other was on OJs with the Royer stamp o the back.

Everything on the old forum was ported over to this one...it's all here.
