Only OJ's

[Ladder7]

When I'm asked to see some of our real old ball cards. These stun those unfamiliar with the hobby more than any other Issue, ghost, freak, scrap etc (those are our masterpieces, exclusively). I know it's a rehash. But we're adding fresh collectors daily. Post your Old Judge!

The narcissist and some say justifiably so, Tony Mullane;

[scooter729]

Good call, Steve - friends are always amazed by these works of art from 125+ years ago!

[vwtdi]

Here are several of my favorites.

[Wite3]

I will spare you the Phillies today since the ones above are much nicer than mine but here is one of the few non-phillies in my collection...

Joshua

[shernan30]

Some of my collection with a few close-ups of my favorites.

[kkkkandp]

I'll post a few...and vent while I'm doing it.

All four of these have been deemed just Authentic by SGC. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. Pretty darned nice looking Authentics, huh?

[smtjoy]

Awesome cards, here are a few more-

Harry Stovey

[the-illini]

I love the OJ portraits - couple of my favorites...

[sebie43]

Awesome cards everybody! You motivated me to get atleast one OJ this year.

[Angyale]

Sliding Billy

[Bocabirdman]

My one and Only. It is Ugly but it's mine

Forgive the scan. It is from the listing.

Nice cards!

I don't own any OJs at the moment, but some day I will have one in my collection.

From all the cards posted so far, Gleason would be my pick.

Angyale - Its good to see you posting again. Hope all is well.

LOL--Leon, my goal is to post an image of me holding your quarter with my thumb.

[wonkaticket]

That thumb has touched some of my cards, so I had SGC pedigree them with "Thumb" to add future value and history just in case.

[mrvster]

[wolfdogg]

One of only 2 OJs I have left....

is there any 1 pose of Hoy that is tougher than the others???
always wondered because I rarely see this pose offered...usually see the batting or throwing pose

I would agree that pose 3 (Stooping to field grounder) is his toughest as it was only issued in 1888. All his other poses were either issued in both 1888 and 1889 or just 1889 with the 1889 cards being more common than the 1888 examples. Nice card.

Thanks Joe....I had noticed over the years that I have only seen maybe 1 or 2 of this pose (from 1888) offered for sale or at auction.....

Great stuff everybody! Keep them coming!

[shernan30]

Kevin--great cards of some really scarce players. Didn't you also have a Taylor Shafer?

Jay:

Did John Dreker put you up to asking that question? He'll never let me live that down. I saw a Taylor Shafer once at a Fort Washington show, but by the time I got back to the seller who had it you had already bought it! So, if you ever want to sell it...

That particular Visner has one of the best pictures I have ever seen on an Old Judge card. The scan doesn't do it justice. Brooklyn had those god-awful uniforms that looked like graph paper and you can see the lines in his shirt and pants. I had zero interest in him as a player, but when I saw the image I just had to have it. It also helped that it looks like someone just stole his beer money!

[ValKehl]

I agree that the Visner card has an incredible image. Visner looks to be a mean sucker - I wouldn't want to incur his wrath!

[pete zouras]

Nice cards all.

[Kenny Cole]

A few more of mine

[wonkaticket]

[shernan30]

Here are 2 new ones from Joe G. and Jay.

For those who have never seen it--here is the photographers proof for the McGreachery (Deacon White) portrait.

[pete zouras]

Another OJ

[cockrellcollection]

Love seeing these photos.....amazing cards all round!

[tlwise12]

Just got these two in the mail, with a few more good ones coming very soon.

A Darnbrough "no name" card and a Germany Long team over print...

[shernan30]

Really neat card Jay.

Absolutely one of the cooler OJ cards I've seen in a while.

[shernan30]

My new addition, O'Connor Columbus!!!!

[oldjudge]

Great pickup Steve. O'Connor is a very scarce card.

[rhettyeakley]

Jay showed some non-Baseball so I don't feel bad showing these two Goodwin & Co. cards, I have never seen another of each "set"...

[oldjudge]

Neat cards Rhett, especially the one with the French caption

[tlwise12]

Really excited to pick these 2 up!

[shernan30]

Great Rusie and story!
