Jay, Joe, Kevin and pro9,

Thanks for the nice comments. Fun to contribute!

Here are a few more Maroons, and a few Millers.

More great cards Dave. I thought I'd show a photographer's proof for a Crogan Maroons pose. In the following post the actual card is shown.

Those are great looking cards, guys.

Jay, I love when the N173 (or cabinet proof) and N172 are shown together. I don't have many of those instances, but I do have the matching N173 and N172 of George Van Haltren and the matching N172 and Gilbert & Bacon proof of Gus Weyhing.

Let's keep this thread rolling...

1889 Saint Paul Apostles

Nice cards Kevin! I like that 1889 script card of Werrick.

Can't let this thread die just yet...

Not to derail this thread, but any idea what would happen to these beautiful curled OJs if they were smashed flat--in a slab, for instance? It seems like you'd crack the surface.

I imagine some of the OJs currently in slabs were curled at some point; does it take time for damage to appear, or is it okay to flatten them?

I have one card that was curled that developed a crease down the center in the process of putting into a holder (Beckett btw, due to flattening). The other issue I've noticed is image fading even when not exposed to light. Both issues have been the exception for me, hence I keep collecting them.

Not sure on these, but I have seen more than one old judge type card get cracked when flattened out. Others will know more but in my experiences they seem brittle. I am sure the OJ collectors have lots of tales....
