Lets see some N172 Old Judge ))

I agree Jay, some gorgeous cards. If we are extending to cabinets, I'll share one of my better images. It also represents the only copy of Bennett that I'm aware of with "DETROIT" not erased from his jersey. I've now studied 5 different N173 Bennett cards and perhaps a dozen of his N172s and this is the only one I've seen with "DETROIT" still present. This would mean nothing to others but kind of neat for a Detroit collector.

That Bennett is awesome.

Joe-- that Bennett is truely a great card. It belongs nowhere else than in your Detroit collection.

Joe and Jay,

I really want to thank you both for all of the information that you have given me regarding the N172 cards. Your book is an icon in my home.

I also wanted to post the Stump Weidman (Weichman) - Detriots / New Yorks misspelled card for others to see.

Great card Joe

Thanks for the compliments on Bennett. Ted, that is a neat Wiedman variation.

The scan below represents my newest pick-ups (both arrived today). Can anyone figure out why I'd possibly have interest in these two cards? If you know my collecting focus and have really studied the OJ set, you just might be able to figure it out. Jay Miller is excluded from this competition

Are you collecting 0-numbers??

Everyone has posted some great stuff so far... I would but I'm bed ridden. Anyway, this thread in entertaining so thanks, and I hope it keeps going!

Incredible cards from everyone else!

In the right ball park, but not exactly. Those two poses represent OJ zero number 0480 and 0509 which bookend the Detroit Wolverine run. The Wolves run uninterrupted from 0481 to 0508. I always thought it would be neat to collect all the zero numbered cards but don't have the budget for such an endeavor when my focus spans outside of just N172s. I'm happy with a run of 30. I'll leave it to someone else to tackle the 1887 zero numbers. The design is classic and the challenge is far more attainable than many other OJ subsets. I'm actually a bit surprised there isn't someone collecting the set in this fashion (at least not that I'm aware of). The zero numbers cover all 8 National League teams plus the outdoor Brooklyn from the American Association.

I should have known that!

Thanks for clearing it up, Joe.
