Cool Story John.
It is funny how the internet has made what was once deemed extremely rare a little more accessible. I remember writing Bob Richardson in the late 80s talking about collecting Detroit OJs. He grounded me and gave me lots of good advice. My stretch goal at the time was to obtain one card of each player and manager that could be found in the 1887 issue (leading zero numbered cards) which was a whopping 9 cards. It wasn't until many years later with eBay at my disposal that I realized I could easily go after all 28 poses. Now the 1888 cards are another story.

I only collect N172's
This might be an odd thinking for someone who appreciates rarities in vintage cards so much, but I can't see paying extra for N175's, when they are the same picture as Old Judges, just a different brand. Due to the bigger ads on the cards, they are actually smaller pictures, though the subject is always unaffected. I have nearly 350 OJ cards, never once bid on, or inquired about a GQ

Just get a Pettee for your London card. Some much more rare and rarity is the key, no matter what I just said above. Besides, I need two more London ones before I'll truly be happy, both have to be the hands at shoulder pose though

Pettee London
Hey, Fred...John speaks from experience on this. At one point I had a London Corcoran that I refused to give up to John until I had a replacement London player to keep that from being a hole in my team collection. That really annoyed the crap out of John! Eventually, I just had to buy a more expensive Pettee so I could send the Corcoran to John so he'd stop whining!
