Old Judge Pose Rarity

[autograf]

In reviewing all of those collections did you guys do some census on the poses that were in all the collections?

Nothing formal, although that would be an interesting project for the next set of knuckleheads exploring this area.

I would love to see a scarcity survey. The book has a few pages dedicated to the toughest of the tough, but something broader than that would be really cool to me, someone who is pretty new to OJs. Not sure what might be gleaned from pop reports on this front.

I know someone recently asked if you planned an update to the book for the new images and information that you have. If you were to create something like this, say just in pdf format, how long do you think it would be and how long do you think it would take to create? Perhaps Net54 could crowd fund you to produce such a document, assuming it wouldn't be an insane amount of work for you.

Could you post the list of 7 and maybe someone on here can lower that number ?

Mike— The missing pose images are as follows. I miscounted last night; we still need ten images:

1.Barkley(19-7); Bat at ready (may in fact be 19-6 that is pictured, as Wharton-Tigre never saw this one)
2.Bligh(31-3): Stooping, catch, hands chest high
3.Coleman(83-1): Catch, hands chest high (Also not seen by WT, may be 83-2)
4.Flood(164-3): Pitch, hands at neck
5.Hatfield(217-3): Bat at ready nearly horizontal
6.Hoffman(228-2): Pitch, hands head high
7.Lyons(284-4): Stooping, hands cupped at knees
8.Nichol(346-8): With Reilly, bodies facing each other
9.Pettee(365-2): Ball in R/hand shoulder high
10.Phalen(367-3): Catch, hands waist high

If anyone has any of these please post here or email me at oldjudge@gmail.com

I know we have a lot of Old Judge collectors out there--any of these unpictured known poses, or unlisted poses?

Jay,

Oddly enough there were two different cards of the same uncataloged pose (going by the OJ Bible) of Parsons that were on ebay at the same time. The following is of the image of the card:



Parson wasn't mentioned in your previous post either, I suppose that means you already have this image. Is this pose going to be 361-6?

The price being asked for the card shown in the image is about $4K but the seller is also taking offers. What do you think a fair price for that card would be? The more faded version of the card went for a little under $200. Not sure if that is considered a deal on that card. What do you think?
