Unofficial CJ Thread...a couple CJ questions.

[RichR]

Would you consider displaying them by cool poses as well?

Definitely. Ive debated the Gandil, which I do not consider one of the most 20-24 cards coveted in the set, b/c of the pose...peckingpaugh as well. The horizontal poses aere more flexible within a display as well.

I don't want to talk about CJ's - that would be the red area to the right, where I gave up quite early, it seems. I'm not doing this to brag, but rather to show the irony tomorrow morning when everything is red. Except my bottle of wine, which will be clear.

But...I would show Alexander and Plank a bit more respect, and Rickey a little less.

How about this.......

1. Jackson
2. Cobb
3. Wagner
4. Johnson, Alexander
5. Speaker,Mathewson
6. Plank,Rickey,Cicotte,Mack,Lajoie,Brown,Baker,Marqu ard
7. Collins,Tinker,Evers,McGraw,Crawford,Bresnahan,Woo d,Clark,Chance
Maranville, Griffith
8. Hooper, Roasch,Schalk,Carey,Huggins,Jennings, Knabe,Comisky,Gandil

Seems like the Nunamaker makes a lot of peoples want lists...I do not have this card either. I have noticably more high #'s than lows. No respect on the matty card?

This looks good. I'd move Matty up to #4 for sure. And I'd add Wheat and Walsh to #8 or even #7.

Cheers,

Pick-up off the bay last night and hopefully the card is truly unaltered and crease/wrinkle free as he claims....cannot wait to get it!

[rainier2004]

Alright, to narrow the focus, I will be displaying 20-24 CJs when the set is done. As I count this set contains 32 HOFs. No in the HOF would also include Knabe, Wood, Gandil, Cicotte, Chase and Jackson bringing the total to 38 possible cards. Am I missing some sources of aquiring these cards?

yanks4 - Id agree with this list but:
1)move matty up 1
2)move brown down 2 tiers
3)add bender, maranville and wheat to tier 8
4)If you meant Chase instead of Chance I agree - Thats 38 cards placed and dropping tier 8 leaves me with 25 cards...hmmm....

[yanks4]

OK............

My experience is that Matty seems to come up more often and is slightly cheaper in 3, 4, or 5......then Johnson and Alexander....

I concur on the Walsh and Wheat.......
