You've been holding out on me, brother! You have an unidentified Hafner, too! Nicely done!

Fred--how did you get a Corcoran away from John?

[Fred]

Jay,

I did it the only way possible... I BEGGED..... I mean really BEGGED... I threw my dignity out the window and BEGGED.... I almost had to fly to the east coast and carry a cardboard sign that said "will BEG for a Larry card..."....

[Fred]

Kevin,

That Hafner came from the Oregon Find. You can barely read the name Hafner at the bottom, it is very faint. After Dave sold it to me he kind of let me know that he let it go too cheap... Well, I didn't think it was that cheap...

[oldjudge]

That must have been the only card from that find that got sold too cheap.

Don't be bitter. I'm sure another Taylor Shafer is just around the corner.

Eric--nice McKean run!

I hope I get a Taylor Shafer card just so I can trade it for Kevin's Daniels card

Would you take a Larry Corcoran card instead?

Let me look at my checklist, see if I have him. I have this horrible habit of buying cards I like and finding out I already have the card/player

[Fred]

Hey John, the next time there's a Corcoran for sale, let me know.... I'd be happy to remind you that you already have 1.... (or two, or three or xxxxxx)... You had to figure you walked right into this thread respose...

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...

[ValKehl]

I don't think any cards of this HOFer have been showed yet:

[Ladder7]

Low and outside. Good eye Connie

[oldjudge]

Printer's scrap is unheard of in the Old Judge set. This is the only such piece I have ever seen. Please note that the Gleason Browns Champ shares the card with a bit of low number series card 5, which is the King Kelly catch, hands chest high pose.

[wonkaticket]

Jay, that has to be one of the coolest cards I've seen. Wow!

[barrysloate]

What's great about that card is that although only a tiny remnant of the second card is visible, it's the number #5, positively identifying it. Very impressive.

[shernan30]

Really neat card Jay.

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

First one I've ever seen. Really cool!

[tlwise12]

A few more...

Nice Worcester pickup!

[oldjudge]

This is one of the most interesting Old Judges I have ever found. As most/some of you know, sheets of Old Judges were made by rephotographing cabinet size photographs produced from glass plate negatives. If you look closely at the bottom of this card you will see the words "OLD JUDGE CIGARETTES". Those words, in that format, are not found on any N172. The only place to find that line is on the mount of an Old Judge cabinet. Thus, when making this card (and possibly the sheet it came from, Old Judge cabinets were used to provide cabinet sized images, instead of just albumen photograph prints.

[wonkaticket]

The "Thumb" strikes again...very cool card Jay!

[oldjudge]

Not baseball, but how many of you have ever seen a Large Gypsy Queen size Old Judge card

[wonkaticket]

That is a cool item.

Extremely cool card Jay, thanks for sharing. Have you ever seen another one, same pose or otherwise? When the card maker compiled a matrix of 24 cabinet sized images I suspect the photos were rarely mounted on full size cabinet mount as they needed to be trimmed down so as to not affect the neighboring cards. But to see your Weber with the OLD JUDGE mount at least partially present, what a treat.

[oldjudge]

Joe--I have never seen another.

[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!

[sportzjunky]

Just back from vacation and catching up to more beautiful examples.. thank you to all posting.

Macullar/Maskrey misidentified - New example

Maskrey in photo, Macullar listed - ball cropped out of photo (slight variant to 295-1)

I am really getting a kick out of searching for OJs out there. Finding good and bad cards out there.

[Fred]

Jay,

If you're still following this thread I had a quick question -

Where in the "OJ spectrum" of "hard to get" would you rate the Phenomenal Smith portrait card? How does this card rate in the order of "rarity" when compared to the spotted ties?

Thanks!

[oldjudge]

Hi Fred! The Phenominal Smith portrait is a very scarce card, as scarce or scarcer than most of the spotted ties, possibly with the exceptions of Behel and Brady. It is scarcer than all of the Connor, Gerhardt, Kelly, Welch, Esterbrook, Orr, and Lynch script cards (one Lynch script pose may be as scarce). Unfortunately, it also tends to come with a light photo.

[autograf]

Sorry for the stray Dukes card in upper right.....think the pink one may be an Australian.....like the Pope card......
