Thanks Chris. Yes, he is very difficult to find. The only other one I remember seeing for sale was much more expensive and had a badly faded photo. Like I said up top, I try to avoid the pink tint OJ's but sometimes you have to make exceptions or you may give up your only chance to get a player/mgr for a long time.

I passed on the Madden/leaning on rock pose at the 2003 National, regretted it immediately and haven't found another one since.

I would love to see a red Red Ehret

Great thread!, lots on eye candy. Here is one of my favorite players, Lady Baldwin. Would love to eventually find the 1st & 5th pose. I've also included the errant Kid Baldwin pose w/ Detroit (should be shown as Cincy catcher, not Detroit pitcher).

I know these weren't made during 1887, but several of the pics are from the 1887 year. So hopefully it's ok that I post them.

Before posting any individual scans, I figured why not save myself some time. I call this pile of mess "Trying to alphabetize 345 Old Judge cards that were in almost no particular order before". It's a pretty long title and probably too descriptive.

John, wow.
