Old Judge Pose Rarity
When we were gathering pose images for the Old Judge book we had access to four major private collections, and public collections at the Hall of Fame, the New York Public Library, the Burdick collection at The Met, and the Ernie Harrell collection at the Detroit Public Library. We did not have an opportunity to examine Wharton-Tigre’s collection at the British Museum or to see a major Midwest private collection. Despite this, we found images of all but 86 listed poses. In the almost ten years since the book was written we have found images of all but 7 of the 86 we were missing. Many of these images we have found multiples of, and in the case of at least one I have seen four different copies. The reason I bring this up is because some dealers and auction houses have used the fact that a pose is not pictured in our book to assert that is rare. The fact is, it may be or it may not be. Many of the poses pictured in our book are unique copies. The point is, by itself, whether a pose is pictured in the book, or not, does not imply its’ scarcity. Only a thorough knowledge of the poses will reveal that.

In reviewing all of those collections did you guys do some census on the poses that were in all the collections?

Nothing formal, although that would be an interesting project for the next set of knuckleheads exploring this area.

I would love to see a scarcity survey. The book has a few pages dedicated to the toughest of the tough, but something broader than that would be really cool to me, someone who is pretty new to OJs. Not sure what might be gleaned from pop reports on this front.
I know someone recently asked if you planned an update to the book for the new images and information that you have. If you were to create something like this, say just in pdf format, how long do you think it would be and how long do you think it would take to create? Perhaps Net54 could crowd fund you to produce such a document, assuming it wouldn't be an insane amount of work for you.
