Jay Miller Not to cast any aspersions on other Old Judge collectors, but does anyone know who the moron is who is bidding over $500 on a rebacked John Smith Old Judge card. John Smith has one valuable pose, a portrait with the title "Phenominal Smith". Otherwise, his cards are common and he was certainly not a star. This is a $100 card not a $500 card. John Billingsley did a good job hypeing the card in the write-up but this bidder took the bait, and then some.
This case is similar to Healy-Washington. He has a very valuable portrait, but his other cards are the most common of commons.
