Completing An Old Judge Pose Run

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Very cool. Congrats!

McKinnon's 315-3 batting pose was the first Old Judge card I ever owned. I chose him as I had read previously about his untimely death during the 1887 season and was fascinated by his card. I have often thought about trying to piece together all 4 poses in each of the two types but have never brought myself to do it (it would be pretty challenging). Alex will always have a special place in my heart (Titus was my 1st T206 and I will always have a soft spot for that card as well).

I got my first card of him in 2002, so give yourself 24 years and you can do it!

I got my first McKinnon in the late 1980's so if I am WAY behind, I guess I better get moving!

Cool run John, well done. Neat that you have pose 1 as #0219 (error). So you have two different poses with the same number. Pose 1 can be found as both #0217 (correct) and #0219 (error).

So Rhett, go for it, but don't stop at 8, go for all 9 N172 variations. Add the GQ and you have 10 total possibilities all dating to 1887 (GQ known for pose 2).

Thanks for that info Joe, didn't even notice.

It appears that card collecting is an acceptable outlet for "Obsessive- Compulsive " individuals. Always that one more card to get to complete the set etc. After the N172 Old Judge McGreachery sells on REA, the search then will be on for the N173 Cabinet version of this card which is listed on the Goodwin & Co. Cabinet Checklists. What would this cabinet sell for when ( or if) it ever turns up ?

Mike--N173 is not known, only the photographers proof.
