Wild Bill Hutchinson
I'm so stoked I got this card. I've been collecting Cubs cards for 25 years, and seriously collecting prewar for 15, and this is the first time I've ever seen a Wild Bill for sale. There's a total of 6 graded between PSA and SGC, so I wasn't sure I would ever see one. He's one of the greatest Cubs pitchers of all time, second only to Charlie Root in innings pitched, so my collection was incomplete without him. I would have paid ten times the ending price!
Now to cross it over to SGC and hope for that 2! |

Nice pickup! Don't use the pop reports as a measure of Old Judge availability. Especially for non-HOFers the vast majority of cards are ungraded.

Very Nice Pick-Up
And good luck on your Cubs quest!! Also....that is a very decent image.

I know it's not a perfect measure, but when Ned Williamson has 115 graded and Bill has 6, I tend to assume I've got a better shot at Ned. Plus I've just never seen one, graded or ungraded.

Fair point. Hutchinson is a scarcer than average card, Williamson is a relatively common card. If I were to guess I would say there are 30-40 copies of Hutchinson, amongst all four poses, floating around. As you no doubt know, he is one of the few Yale graduates to play Major League baseball.

Thanks for the guess at the Hutchinson population. I know a lot more about the Cubs in general than I do about Old Judge. Now if you could just point me towards the nearest Clark Griffith or Chicago King Kelly!
