Deacon White Old Judge card and other

[Redbandit]

Hello everyone,

First off - just wanted to say THANK YOU for your guidance on what to do with this rare find. As I noted a few months ago, my friend went with REA and several of the cards are now up on their auction.

This one in particular is amazing:

It is a never before seen George Winkelman card. Just incredible new cards are still being discovered

It is not a "never before seen" card. It is a known pose. BTW, who removed the cards from the album?

Ah sorry I misread REA hasnt seen it before (as they wrote in the description)

REA had them professionally removed from the album and graded

Actually, what they say is that these cards are new to the hobby. I honestly don’t know if new to the hobby or old to the hobby is better. A new to the hobby card increases the population of a particular card and, everything else held equal, should devalue the card.

"Aside from the example used as an illustration in the "Old Judge Book," this is the first example we have ever seen of this card"

redbandit, it's a nice card and would be of interest to collectors with Hartford ties, even if they don't normally collect OJ's. "Old Judge" is going to have a broader knowledge of these cards than the auction house.

I noticed that 505-2 is not pictured in the OJ book, which is apparently the very rare pose. Your card is 505-1 and is still a neat and rare card. Good luck with the auction. Rob

Sorry-I thought you were talking about the Deacon White. The pose is scarce, but Winkleman is no longer as scarce as we thought it was when we did the book. In fact, Rob, we have seen at least three copies of Pose 2 since the book was done, even though we had no image at that time.
