Possibly another partial Hall of Famer
Is this Connor a Gypsy Queen? I always assumed it was an Old Judge, but after seeing ctownboy's example with the shaded arch at top and that my card has it as well, makes me think my Connor is GQ all the way. Shown with a couple of Old Judge cards for size comparison.

Hello Brian,
Your trimmed Connor is an altered N175 (small GQ). The Old Judge equivalents of the same pose are script cards. Congrats on being proud owner of a GQ  David's Keefe would be full 2" wide if the border were still intact (the quarter is 0.955" diameter for reference). His card is the large format GQ (2" x 3 1/2" when whole).

The shape of the Gypsy Queen logo at the card top led people to trim cards into the "cathedral window shape" seen here. Years ago Lew Lipset auctioned off a complete set of large Gypsy Queens, all trimmed like that.

Oldjudge,
I don't know how many large Gypsy Queen's Lew Lipset has auctioned but the person I got my Keefe from (Ted Koch of Indianapolis) had five other large size cards and he consigned his cards with Lew to sell around 2002. I am still trying to find that auction and the results those cards sold for. Why? Because I had a chance to buy all of the cards but didn't have the money (and I am sure the seller was going to give me a discount from what they eventually sold for).

I really don't have favorites but I'll post one of each. BTW, I believe that, like all pre-1888 Old Judge issues, Gypsy Queens were a mixed subject set featuring boxers (very rare), possibly actresses, and of course baseball players.
