Default Jake Beckley Old Judge Cabinet

Something in Joe_G.’s post, A Fantasy Poll for Old Judge Collectors, caught my attention. He mentioned in the part about Super Sized HOFers that the only known Old Judge cabinet of Jake Beckley was in a museum. What caught my attention was that I have had an Old Judge cabinet of Jake Beckley in my collection for about 20 years. I had traded a dealer at a card/autograph show in Richmond, Va, a Nolan Ryan rookie card for it. After a few e-mails with Joe and Jay Miller it appears I may have gotten the better part of the trade. They said that the only O. J. Beckley cabinet they knew of was in the Baseball Hall of Fame. That one is of Beckley on the St. Louis Whites in the fourth pose, “Stooping to catch ball knee high.” The one I have is the third pose, “Catch, hands held out neck high.” Jake is in a St. Louis uniform and listed as being on the “Pittsburghs.” It does have tape stains at both the top and the bottom of the cabinet. I thought you might like to see this “new” discovery. Sorry, not for sale.

Very nice Russ, thanks for sharing.

Something tells me, although not for sale, you are going to get some offers.

Please excuse my ignorance, as I know very little about this set but enjoy learning about it. But how could someone have documented the pose (by naming it the third pose) if it is a new discovery? Wouldn't a new discovery be of a player/pose that doesn't previously exist? Or does every player have one each of these poses?

Awesome card! Congrats!

Rob

It was a known pose in the N172 set, but was not known to exist in the larger N173 cabinets.

Russ- considering what a Ryan rookie was worth in the early 80's and how the card has really tailed off lately, you got better than a great deal, you got a helluva deal. Congrats!

The Mets traded Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosi in one of the worst deals ever.

And Russ traded Nolan Ryan for an N173 Jake Beckley- one of the best deals ever!

Nice pickup and a dandy swap. Hopefully, one of Beckley's relatives doesn't get a hold of this thread on your birthday. That is a wicked combination.

Lovely Day...

Thank you for posting Russ, a great story, a great card.

Thanks to you, we are up to 24 or 27 HOFers available in cabinet form and available outside of museum collections. The three cabinets that continue to elude collectors being Griffith, McPhee, & Galvin. As for the next to be discovered, I'll put my money on Galvin (3 known in museum collections).
