Genesis of an Old Judge Team Change

[oldjudge]

Great observation Scot. BTW, according to the 1890 Reach guide, Klusman played for three teams in the WA, first Milwaukee, then Des Moines, and then finally Denver. It makes sense that Milwaukee was the first since that was the uniform that he was photographed in. What this also says is that, unless Goodwin missed or ignored the Des Moines move, that there may be a Des Moines card lurking out there. It also raises the slim possibility that the handwritten Denver refers to the WA team and the typeset Denvers to the Solis. However, I would doubt that this is the case.

Thanks Jay. And I would be remiss if I didn't point out that you were the one who sold the above SGC 84 Klusman Type 3 to me at a reasonable price a few years back when I was starting a Denvers collection.

That is a great looking card.

Thanks Leon.

A final note is that the Klusman Denvers that was recently sold on the BST, see

is a Type 2. The differences with the Type 3 that I acquired from Jay are easily noted and consistent with the above discussion.
