Old Judge Book? And an unrelated Obak question

[Archive]

Posted By: Dave Hornish

Yes, you all go to Chi-town and here I sit, posting away....caught this on the Non Sport board that Jay Miiler is writing a book on Old Judges, and not just the baseball subjects. Anyone know about this?

Also, is there a reference work available outside of Lipset's that covers T212 Obaks in depth?

I think Jay has said he was going to leave the non-baseball OJ's for someone else.

Don't know if this will help with "in depth" info...

Looking for T206 Sweet Caporal Fact. #30 White Sox in Poor to Fair condition.

The Old Judge book, an effort of myself, Joe Gonsowski and Richard Masson, will concentrate on Goodwin & Co. photographic baseball cards. There will be some mention of other topics, but the main focus is N172, N173 and N175.

It was good to meet Jay for the first time at the National and to connect again with Joe and Richard. Looking forward to the book!

It was my pleasure to meet all you guys in person at the National. I'll remember the people a lot longer than I'll remember the cards.
