Default Old Judge Proofs?

Posted By: nickinvegas

I have personally examined the 6 OJ proofs(american memorabilia auction) for several hours and these my conclusions:

1) The photographs are albumen. I say that because they are the proper gauge for albumen of this period, They smell like Albumen, Under the microscope they look like albumen should.

2) The wear on the actual photo is what it should be. While they were obviously not left out in the sun or light for the last 100+ years; each one has a great patina that would be difficult to fake.

3)The player, team, uniform all match the time period the proofs would have been created.

There are more reasons, I could go on. But, my limited attention span has reared it's ugly head again. So I will end in saying, I believe these to be nothing short of stunning. The value of these rare items can not be stated, the people will decide.

After the sale if there is information that contradicts the listing, every penny will be refunded! And Credit Cards are accepted.
