Special thanks to Joe G. for many trades and sales, plus helping me learn more about the Old Judge cards.

Still looking for other Detroit player cards pictured with Detroit or other team uniforms.

Thanks Joe

Fantastic Joe, Congratulations!!

I know this was a very long pursuit for you. I enjoyed each and every trade we made along the way. Your collection contains some of the hobbies finest Detroit cards including your remarkable Hanlon (pristine image quality and condition). The 1887 Detroit subset is interesting with the stadium backdrop, sequential numbering by Goodwin & Co., manageable at 28 cards, among the easier (more collectable) OJ cards, and of course lines up nicely with their World Championship season. I just wish the 1887 run included Lady Baldwin, Charlie Bennett, Pete Conway, Pretzel Getzien, and Deacon White. But I guess the 1888 Detroit cards are there to keep all of us Detroit collectors chasing these cardboard gems for eternity. Well done!
