I may never complete this project, but it has been one hell of a fun ride!

Which N172/N173s do you have? I picked up this one last year (N173). Was collecting these too but some of the backgrounds were questionable on some lists.

Did you get a lipman pike? I didnt win one of those in that auction they were all in last year.

Thanks for all the interest, guys.

I have the Old Judge Stearns pose Throwing, R/Hand Thigh High. I stopped collecting his cards because, as you say, there is considerable doubt about his ethnicity. Unfortunately, I did not win the Lipman Pike. I think it went for some astronomical sum, maybe $80K or more, and I could not rationalize that purchase (lol), as irrational as I've been on some purchases.

The reason I don't have it all of these together and posted on a site is because the pictures I took for insurances purposes are of very low quality, taken with an iPhone. I was going to post the picture of Stearns, but it does the card no justice. I will post a few of my favorites later. I did not save jpegs from auctions or screen shots until more recently, unfortunately, and some of the auction houses no longer exits. One of these days I will systematically take better pictures, when I find the time.
