New Old Judge discovery

[oldjudge]

Joe-forgetting the technical numbering system for a second, these cards, if they are Gypsy Queens (you can't be 100% certain, although that is probably the case) are part of some Gypsy Queen subset. They are not small or large Gypsy Queens, but are, for lack of a better term, the phrase I used in the book, a medium Gypsy Queen. Their discovery does not change the number of members in the Old Judge set --there are still 522. It does increase the number of subjects in the Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin and Company to 524. Personally, if it could be verified that they were in fact Gypsy Queens, I would have no problem assigning numbers to them, the Cartophilic Society listing includes all of Goodwin's photographic cards. However, their discovery does not change the Old Judge set.
On a side note, it is interesting to see the many variations in the Gypsy Queen set. You have the large Gypsy Quuens which are very rare and whose method of distribution is still a mystery. You have the normal small Gypsy Queens which are much rarer than their Old Judge counterparts, probably due to the unpopularity of the Gypsy Queen cigarettes. And now you may have this California League Gypsy Queen set. Are we having fun yet?
