+1 This book is a must for anyone who has even the slightest interest in Old Judge cards. It is extremely well done in all aspects.

You're doing quite a bit of research but weren't aware of the premier book that's been published on the set?

Rob the research I've been doing has been strictly web based. I've been trying to do it without spending money.

I'm going to continue to "try" and do so for the remaining players I don't have anything on.

I don't have a real intention on collecting the set just gaining knowledge of it and it's players.

The only card I'm really interested in that I would probably purchase would be Dick Buckley because we share the same last name.

Other than that the other cards are too rich for my blood. King Kelly would be nice but again too expensive for me.

The Old Judge book is an incredible piece. I don't have any N172s but was happy to pay 3 times the amount they are selling for now when it came out.

+1 I was fortunate to get mine autographed by the authors.

Agreed. There's some one-of-a-kind information within. Both authors did some fabulous work. I would love to see some sort of supplement or update, however, that addresses changes in known scarcities along with inclusions of all of the new finds--even if it's in paper or magazine form.

New question.

My research on this set has hit a weird fork in the road. I've not seen ANY consistent checklist for this set.

This checklist suggests that there are multiple cards for certain players that the above checklist site does NOT have.

http://www.teamsets4u.com/checklist/1800s/1887n172.html


Which if either of these are accurate? The second one also has teams that aren't listed on the first checklist. Which is the correct one ?

There is a lot when it comes to a complete checklist. The Old Judge book has a pretty good list. You can also check out my website for a complete list of Columbus Solons and other players who played in Columbus. I know there is a second pose of Billy Barnie which I just learned of about a week ago not listed on my site yet. Also, with each pose there could be variations depending on what years they were issued. A complete set is easily over 3000 cards if I'm not mistaken. Some board members may be able to give you a more accurate number of total cards in the set.
