1888 N173 Glass Slide Negatives

[joshleland]

With all due respect the ones that I saw that terry had did not have thick white paint on top of the glass so I'm skeptical
But I would have to see it in person to know for sure
If indeed you do have an old judge original negative used to make the baseball cards, essentially original art, than you have something incredibly historically important and valuable
I'd love to see it sometime in person
I will be at the Papermania show in Hartford this weekend but that's a haul
btw it's one of the best shows in the country and worth the trip
I'm not calling you out I'm just skeptical that you are evaluating it correctly

Josh--I now live in SoCal so that would be a long trip to the show. If you are out here you are welcome to see the negative, but I am confident that it was prepared by the chefs at Goodwin & Co.

Are any of the N173's that have glass plate negatives in the auction known to exist? Seems like it would be easy to match up the writing on one of the negatives to what is on the card.

Unfortunately they are so damn tough to find at all.

Considering that two of them are Larry Corcoran and he wasn't available in an N173, I'm not sure why they are being called N173 negatives

Old judge:
I as misled by your Bronx location
That is quite an invitation
I thank you and look forward to the day when I can take you up on it
There is no thing I am not skeptical about
You sir are a gentleman
Sincerely
Josh Evans

Tom--One of the Weidmans matched up exactly with the N173 image in the Old Judge book.

John--As you know, the glass plate negatives were used in the N172 production. There is no copyright written in on the Corcorans which makes sense.
