What is the next 1887 Old Judge card you want to add to your collection?

[Zone91]

For my part I guess a Hugh Duffy card would be nice since I will be reading his book in a week or so...I find it much more fun to go after a HOF that I own the book of!!!

There is a Hugh Duffy up on Ebay but it is way to beat up and the image is badly faded I would not buy that one that is for sure.

If i throw in a 1971 Carl yaz with sideburns is that enough for you to back out of the deal with John?

Any Old Judge card since I don 't have any in my card collection.

There have been so many wrong answers on here, half these players don't even have 1887 Old Judge cards!

It's simple, Ramble on Rose by the Grateful Dead references Billy Sunday.

So right you are. Shame on me! I guess if I need to stick to 1887, I'll change my answer to Gaffney. I kind of like that card and he co-umpired the 1887 Championship. Otherwise, no 1887 wants. Plenty of 1888 wants and a couple 1889.

I've always wondered why OJ's are all lumped together on flips as "1887". It's clear that they were produced mainly over three years. Cracker Jacks are treated as two different sets, 1914 and 1915, so why not OJ's? If they were treated this way, people would see that they are a lot more rare when broken up by year.

Same with the various poses - yes, certain advanced collectors try to get every pose, but mostly the rarity of a player is considered with all the poses combined. Yes, a few players have 8-9 poses, but most only have 3-4, and even in the T206 set, there are plenty of players with 3-4 poses.

My point is that if the cards were dissected by pose and by year produced, collectors would realize that they are a lot more rare than when they are all lumped together as "1887 Old Judge". Even my cards of Nichols and Delahanty, whom we know didn't play in 1887, still have "1887 Old Judge" written on the flip.

Ignorance and laziness on the part of the TPG.
