Old Judge Book

[cliftons8]

Fred,
Sorry but I don't have a pic. I only had the card for a short time. After showing it to Jay, we made the trade. It was Ed Herr, pose 225-2. The card had 5 fairly sharp corners, and was very faded at the edges. However, it was a card that Jay needed and he was very happy to get it. I guess I could have tried to get more, but I'm not trying to complete the set and I like cards with pictures I can see clearly. Also, I am glad to be able to help another collector. It is rare that a collector of my modest means can help an advanced collector with Old Judge.
Tha funny thing is that without the knowledge that Jay provides with the book, I would not know what to look for.

That's just the nature of books.........a run of 500 books costs probably 80-85% of what a run of 1000 books costs and beyond that, the per book price is even cheaper. So, the sellers try to get the bulk of their cost in that first batch of 500 with profit falling into the second. A book like Richard, Jay & Joe (people don't always mention Joe in discussing the book) produced costs a LOT of money to produce--especially with as many as they likely produced. I gladly paid the $125 even though I don't collect OJ's any more (for now). It's a work of art. The $24.95 versions will dry up soon........they're being offered in the REA catalog at $60.00. Still a bargain.

I was trying to be funny with 5 sharp corners. One corner had a small clip making an extra corner.
