pretty spectacular in my opinion! Nice clarity/contrast on that OJ (despite the grade). I'd prefer one of these over an EX example w/ light contrast!

I agree that Old Judge is amazing.

Well thanks guys! What did draw me to this card was the same clarity I pursue on action shot photographs. And as you can probably guess the grade is due to back damage.

This is very similar to the type of Old Judge I'm looking to acquire at some point. BEAUTIFUL front, phenomenal contrast/clarity, but a damaged back to drive the price down.

As previously stated by other members, sensational pickup. Merry Christmas!

Couldn't resist grabbing this T207 off of eBay at a decent price. Now have 3 Tom Needham T207s...guess I'm a bit of a hoarder these days.

I concur with the others who posted on your Old Judge acquisition - that is a spectacular example!

Michael--Nice card. BTW, that is also Welch's scarcest pose.

Every Old Judge card is spectacular.

Do you have any idea when this photo was taken or when the caption was written? I'm curious because the Tigers didn't play New York in the Series, they played St. Louis. The Cardinals passed the Giants on the final weekend.

...No specific date stamp....seems to be a prep piece, a sports department heads-up....1934 was a hell of a year to listen to and follow baseball...
