Show Some OJ Subsets

[RCMcKenzie]

That's a nice run of standing bats.

Here's a Billy Crowell pose 2 with St Joes.

Crowell played for New Orleans in 1892 and Houston in 1899, so that's why I collect his cards. See 1892 New Orleans Team Photo with Crowell.


I still need pose 1 Clev and St. Joes, pose 4 St. Joes, and pose 5 Cleve


This card, the pose 2 St Joes, was listed on eBay by iconsportscards. I looked at my notes and it was not on my wantlist. I checked my cards and did not have it. I looked in the OJ guide and it's not on there. This may have already been noticed, but I wanted to point out that all 5 Crowell cards come as St Joes or Clev. The OJ guide is great, and I would not know what cards to look for without it.

Amazing Pud Galvin subset! I have seen the Galvin hands at waist variation with the Old Judge Cigarettes wording to the right of his face and others with the same photo that have the wording to the left of his face. Does anyone have thoughts on whether the location of the Old Judge Cigarettes wording on cards with the same picture are considered separate variations?

Any difference between cards is a variation. In my mind a variation like this is more significant than a team spelling variation (Omaha vs Omahas) but less significant than an actual team change (Detroit to Boston) and certainly less significant than a pose change. If I was doing a player run in the set I would try to get all variations, no matter how minor.

Cool. They are both 1887, I don't have Jay's book in front of me right now, but if I remember correctly yours is an 0 number type B (script), mine is an 0 number type A. I don't know of the logo placement difference is due to the subtype or different runs of the same type (in other words is there a Type A with the other logo placement or not)

OMG ... I can't stop drooling. Well done.

I am always willing to follow a motherload of great cards. Here is my Ezra Sutton run. It has been a top collecting priority for a very long time. To give you a closer idea about how long I have been working on it, I believe the Old Judge shown cost me $13.00, plus a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE... acronyms existed back then as well).

I'm basically picking up different types for my Brooklyn collection.

Great group Justin. Here is a scarce red mount Dave Orr with the only copy of that pose that I have seen.

Wow, that is awesome. I've never seen it before. Thanks for posting it.
