Trade Value for Old Judge N??

[4scuda]

A gentlemen approached me at the flea market today with this Old Judge J. Ward. He wanted to trade it, we looked it up in the standard catalog and it booked way high. I have never owned an old Judge card and don't know much about them other than recognizing them when I see them. Question is the catalog price close to market? This seemed to have edge that was crooked from cutting. Where these cut out like a post cereal card? Any thought to value? I know that trade it for as little as I have to put in, guess I am wondering if the book is higher related to the market than the book is on some other prewar cards. He was thinking about trading for a V61 Cobb I had but thought the value weren't equal. In my mind no matter what a book says a Ty Cobb is going to be more recognizable and desirable than the old judge card in street clothes, unless you are a hard core collector.
