Hobby history: The first Old Judge checklist, 1944

[Leon]

Hey Jay
You saying great effort with respect to Old Judges is still pretty good. One of these days (maybe at this National if you are going) I will let you get some more detailed OJ lists Mr. Wharton-Tigar had.....

David, always a pleasure to read the old pubs, thanks again.

I think the job these guys did was amazing. To compile lists like this pre-internet is incredible.

Are unknown Old Judges with Cleveland. How did they end up on the list?

Snyder and Lohbeck are possible in N173 form for Cleveland. Not Fry though

Also missing the McQuaid umpire card.

Anyone know what the author means by "NOTE - These cards should be collected via selected approvals..."?

My guess is that it is a warning that the cards are tough to find so if you send them to someone "on approval" make sure you trust that person. My dad used to collect stamps "on approval". Several collectors/dealers would send him a group of stamps and he would pay for the ones he wanted and return the rest.
