Old Judge Pose Rarity

[oldjudge]

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?

Fred—If you look at the pose description in the book(taken from the Cartophilic Society listing) for 361-1 you will see that description fits both that pose and the “new” pose. Unless you had both poses you had to assume that whichever one you had was 361-1. After the book came out people could see that there were in fact two different, but quite similar, poses. The “new” pose is 361-6. Add the text to 361-1 “, feet apart”. The description for 361-6 is the same as 361-1 except it ends in “, feet together”. As for value, I’m not sure it is any scarcer than any other Parsons pose.

Jay,

I started to look at other OJ images I collected and found another of the 361-6 poses. So as you have indicated, it's probably not scarcer than any other Parson pose.

You may have already posted something in the past but if not, could you please provide an update on all new poses, players or otherwise interesting finds since the book was published.

Thanks!
