According to the listing, it measures about 11" x 15". The recent Smithsonian book describes the original as more than 40" tall. |

Certainly a fake laser-print. My counterfeit A Joss-Charity team photo resembles the same print glare. my two cents |

What is interesting about the poster is you get to see what the Old Judge |

It's a fake, don't bid on it. A real one would be worth about $150,000. This one is at $600. What does that tell you? |

I also saw this and thought it would be nice to have even as a reprint - then saw the price skyrocket. |

I threw a low bid ($500) on it the first day to maybe keep someone from buying it offline. I was going to do more research on it before the auction ended. Thanks for bringing to light the size. It is the perfect size to be homemade, and the seller sure doesnt stand behind their item. |

I'd like reiterate, I understand and appreciate folks not posting an iffy ongoing auction, but if provenance is uncertain of an item you've won... Post the scans and photos after winning and before paying. |

The original is huge, and there are only a couple known. Gary Cypres has one, and it is pictured in Stephen Wong's book Smithsonian Baseball. |

It is a gorgeous poster, and what I like about it is it advertises baseball cards that don't exist- hand drawn color Old Judges! |

This is what the board is good for.... It helps educate buyers and sellers. The seller did the correct thing by ending it early. I to will be placing a bid in the new auction.... |

You can buy a beautiful photographic, full size reproduction from the HOF for a little over $200. |

Did anybody notice that while every hand drawn single player card seems to correspond with a known photographic pose, in the upper left corner there is an oversized two player card with an unknown pose? What is that all about? It's a strange poster as it depicts something that doesn't exist. Even in 1888 you couldn't find color cards that looked like that. |
