PSA 8 Old Judge cards in Goodwin auction now?

There is also a PSA 9 O'Rourke with a tobacco stain on the reverse, which I once owned. Smashing card in every other respect. I was told that the card was from a Kentucky(?) find in the mid-nineties, so clearly it was graded early. Standards have really tightened up since then, I don't what it would grade today, but it's still a beautiful card.

I'd love to see a scan if you have one, sounds like a great card!

What makes the n172 cards great is the variety of ways the set can be collected. By player, team, pose, league, type of pose, grade, photo quality etc.

I love Dave Orr cards. He was one of the great hitters of the 19th century and, had a stroke not cut his career short, he would most likely be in the HOF. For those unfamiliar with Orr, check out his stats.

Dave Orr was a beast. Kind of looks like an ogre in the photo. I would place him alongside Caruthers and Stovey as the best 19th cent. players with careers too short to place them in the HOF.

You could also count a couple players with super-short careers due to injury, Sockalexis and J. Lee Richmond. Anyone have any J. Lee Richmond memorabilia?
