Barry told me when he showed me the card [approximately 19 years ago.] that he traded it straight up for a minty-fresh Lajoie card that was in his collection. Obviously this was before professional grading, but Barry was super proud of the signed Lajoie, and he thought it was a huge huge score to trade his nice-conditioned example for this autographed one. Given that it was dated, as well, it seemed extra special to him.

I would love to have a signed OJ. I wouldn't even care who the player was.

I agree, especially if it was a Cap Anson or Mike Kelly

Hah - No. I would make that trade in an instant, of course, but it is not likely one that I would ever be offered. Given the increase in interest in signed pre-war cards over the past decade, I think the Lajoie is worth $50K-$75K now, if not more...

Steve-The only signed Old Judge I know of is a signed Connie Mack (on the back). It has a large fountain pen signature which has been authenticated.

I don't even collect autographs but that Mack is sweet
Nice image on the front too

Wow only sold for $2000. Would probably go for close to that without the signature.
