Wait, this is!


Some folks have reached out to me to create reproduction Old Judge cards and 4x6 prints from the negatives for their collection. Here is the first round - I think they came out great! They are posed with my original cards here.

Great stuff Tanner. I don't want to impose on your thread but thought you might be interested in the image below, which presumably was made from the original plate back around the time the cards were made, or sometime after.

The card is not mine, alas, as I have 5 different Farrell Washington OJ cards (poses), but do not yet have a card to go with "Bat at Ready, Looking at Camera".

Unbelievable post!

Thank you for doing this work- truly fascinating about Old Judge and the plates.

This was one of my all time favorite posts I read on n54. Made me laugh out loud and appreciate cards all the more.

Now that you got me inspired… time to go look up my name sake Pud Galvin!

Tanner, amazing post! Thanks for the two cards you made for me! Your work is the best! Tony

@GeoPoto by all means, post away! That is a GREAT picture. You may be interested in this also - check it out! https://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=315005

Also, for everyone else, I have put together a video on the subject. Please be kind - I'm not the greatest at video stuff, but I'm trying!

Bravo!

I know you dont need to be told, but I am compelled to say it anyway: please, always be a responsible steward of these glass images. They are truly invaluable, in my opinion.

Again - bravo!

That was really awesome. Thank you for posting.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my wife the other day. I told her to not get offended if she is out with our 3 year old and I feel compelled to tell her to keep an extra close eye on him. There is literally no reason for me to tell her this - it isn't because I don't trust her - heck, I trust her more than anyone else on this planet (myself included!) so I told her to please give me grace and let me say it if I need to sometimes
