Didn't get any of the old Judge but am glad to have got the
1887 Tobin Lithographs B/W Cap Anson

I picked up a few E cards, but it is the O J I picked up I am most intrigued with. I picked up an Old Judge of Cahill with a bat. The Cahill in the Old Judge book has the same pose in it, but the words Old Judge are in the rainbow shape in the middle of the card and mine is in a rectangle in the top left. The one I picked up also has cursive script, whereas the on in the book has the standard print. So I guess my question is to the O J experts out there is do I have something special or are these variances common in Old Judges?....Any help on this question would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Tim Kindler

This is the image from Jay Miller, Joe Gonsowski, and Richard Masson's book. Awesome book guys!

Buying the book isn't enough, Tim. Reading it is a plus. Many poses are duplicated in several printings. The one you purchased is a Type B 1887 card. The one in the book is a Type A 1887 card (see page 122). No scarcity in either case.

Thanks for clarifying what is in the book. Not that the book wasn't written clearly in the 1st place, but just trying to understand all of the specifics of production, etc. of this set has always seemed daunting to me. I do need to really dive deeper into the understanding of the set. That being said, I'm still very happy with the pick up of this Indianapolis player since I'm from Fort Wayne. Now I will try to find the type A of this card!
THANKS again for the education!
