Questions for the Old Judge Experts
 
Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>-How many known players are in the set, and how many different cards are known (including player and pose only)?<br><br>-I know the set is an impossibility because of too many 1 of 1 cards in different hands, but who would you say is the closest to a complete known set?<br><br>-How often is a new pose or variation found?<br><br>-What was the last new discovery (player not pose)? And how long ago was that?<br><br>-Is there a most commonly found card? and if so what card is it?<br><br>

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> Dan,I bet you can't wait for the book to come out huh? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif"><br><br> Without giving away any content from the book,there was a new team variation discovered as late as during the proof-reading of the book. So despite a ton of research by many people,some of those answers could be open-ended because we dont know till every OJ is accounted for.

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> Well I'll answer one question for you with a guess based on a running OJ joke. Alot of people think that California Brown is the most common OJ card because it seemed like for awhile his cards would show up once a week on ebay and any lot of decent size in auctions would have at least one of his cards.<br><br><br><br> If you ask me,the most common player is Larry Corcoran,heck,I can find 24 of his cards in my collection! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Hmmmm....I'm curious now. I'm thinking my first question will be answered in the book, but are any of my other questions covered in the book?

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> question(s) #1 are answered,question 2 isnt in the book but most people know who that person is, questions 3 and 4 are answered for the most part and question 5 is answered to the best of knowledge for hall of famers only in the book. Don't know if there is a real true answer for #5 but I'm sure it would take a surveying of all known collections to properly answer it.

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>I had the chance to talk to Bill Heitman for a long time at the Anaheim National. This topic came up. A quote from him: &quot;nobody's ever collected a complete set of Old Judges because bobody knows what a complete set is.&quot;
