Completing An Old Judge Pose Run

[oldjudge]

The Bat at Side Type B comes in two formats. Also, both my Type A and Type B of the Strike pose are 0219. It must be the more common number.

Old Judge : you don't think somebody in the 1880's sent in 25 or so coupons and requested a McGreachery Cabinet ?

Someone probably did, whether or not somebody did and then that card happened to survive until the present day is a whole different story!

Jay, that is interesting... I don't recall ever seeing two of the same pose with the 1887 written captions with different "old Judge" scroll placements. The N172 set is so strange (and by strange I mean awesome!)

He was on the 1888 Indy cabinet checklist so theoretically someone could have ordered the cabinet. However, since they would have had no idea who he was they probably would not have. But--who knows.

It's tough to see on the scan here Rhett, since I needed to get 34 cards in one pic(the last two are photo shopped in)but it helps when you have 36 examples to see at the same time. If you squint, you can see the OJ box in different places on the same card here.

Quite a collection there.

I agree the odds are slim that someone ordered that McGreachery Cabinet. Since it was on the Indy checklist they probably thought they were getting a "McGeachy" cabinet , since he played for the Indy team. As you know, this was corrected on the 1889 checklist and "McGreachery was changed to "McGeachy"

Great, now my eyes hurt from all the squinting!

Well, now that I'm almost blind from all the squinting, I notice there is no Gypsy Queen Corcoran among the masses.

There's still enough time to get your bid in (if you haven't already) for the one in REA!

Thanks, but I like to leave the GQ Corcorans for the masses who want cards of him, but don't like paying 3-4x the value for one of his OJ cards

Everyone else can have at that, leave the lowly N172's alone

[oldjudge]

John--the Corcoran GQ is still cheap ($450). That isn't even twice an OJ price. It is also a rare card that needs to be in your collection.
