Old Judge - 2500+ poses & growing, but stable at 521 subjects

Thanks Jay,

So 13 years and a couple months since the last new subject member. I'm surprised that the major finds of the last decade haven't turned up any new players. Who were the other subjects that were added with O'Day during the checklist update during the late 90s?

Did the Gibson come up on ebay a few years back? Was the sellers name "JeffsJunque" or something like that?

Besides Cal League cards can someone list the last 5 players that were discovered?

Joe--I don't remember--I'll try to find my old notes.

Fred--Gibson was found by a Long Island dealer in the 80's. The copy you are referring to was a second copy.

Thanks Jay.

Note, a third copy of Gibson was also "found" last year at the Baseball Hall of Fame during one of our visits in support of writing the book. Flynn also only has three known copies split amongst two poses. However, two of them are housed in museum collections.

I remember that Christie's collection. The cards came out of an old desk, and while the group wasn't huge, it did have a California League player...and you don't hear much about Elayne Boosler these days.

Her home page has a bit called: It's a Beautiful Day for Baseball

Joe- Were all 521 subjects available to the public in cigarette packs ? It seems odd that some of the cards are only available in quantities of 1 or 2 if they were all inserted into packs. Are some from uncut sheets or proofs ? If so, should they be included in the set ?
