Looks Like The Old Judge Book Is Available For Order
Posted By: Dan Bretta
Just got an email from Old Cardboard that the book will be shipped in December and can now be ordered. A little steeper in price than I imagined, but I didn't realize the book was going to be coffee table style. Still works for me...looks like my wife just found out what she's getting me for Christmas.

The price is a little high for a book but this is no ordinary book. I can vouch for the massive amount of research and time that went into it incorporating previously known facts you either had to learn on your own from years of collecting,or were lucky to find out from an expert. Plus new stuff that was learned along the way from unknown players names,to brand new teams. Throw in the fact that there are approx. 2500 pictures including every player pose that was available thru various personal collections and many team and product pictures. All the old judge info that you could ever need is jammed into the book from the start of the company thru the whole run of the set. Just the amount of writing and time that went into the bios alone is amazing,each individual player was researched so you have a story to go along with cards that represent the players.

Is there anyway that we can get a few pictures of the book (cover shot, page shot), number of pages and dimensions? I would love to see what it looks like. Thanks.

Thanks for the interest. The book is roughly 460 full color pages. It is hardcover with the cover art being the Old Judge trade mark. To give you a feel for the content, here is a chapter list:

Ryan--I don't know the answer. Richard is taking care of the finances and I emailed him to ask the question and he has not yet responded back. As soon as I hear I'll let you know.

Mike---Several new cards have been discovered (Gibson, O'Day-Sacramento, etc) while a few have been eliminated as two listings were discovered to be the same player (Burns-Omaha/KC, Kelly-Manager/Umpire, etc.). There are 2491 known poses. I am not familiar with the SCD catalog but they may be considering team variations and we (and the British Cartophilic Society) are only considering different poses. We are not picturing the other roughly 65 poses because we could not find the cards. They are included in the British Cartophilic Society listing but we could not access the actual cards to make a scan of the pose. Unless you collect Old Judge cards you cannot appreciate the rarity of some of these images. There may only be one or two copies of some poses in existence in the world. Since one major collection is housed at the British Museum (a collection we did not get images from) perhaps some of these cards reside there. I consider it more amazing that we found as many pose images as we did. Lew Lipset has been collecting Old Judge images for over twenty years. He had between 75% and 80% of these images in his reference file, no small accomplishment. We, in one year, got scans of over 97% of the poses. I would hope that some collectors reading the book may uncover poses we still don't have images of or maybe even find some new poses.

I was fortunate to be able to view a proof copy, and let me just say the book is more impressive than you can imagine. It is something really special.

Several people have asked what form of payment is accepted. We are not set up for paypal or credit cards so the only methods that work are checks and money orders.

Sounds like a great book, but before sending a $125 check, I would at least ask for some pictures of it. Maybe the cover art, some inner pages, etc.

I talked to Richard this afternoon and we are on schedule. If your order has already been received you should have your book by late next week(assuming you did not request an autographed copy which will delay the process since the authors are in three different states).

Hi, is there good coverage of other issues like N162 & N167? From your note it sounds like N172 predominates (and understandably so) but hoping to see good coverage of the other issues.

Sandy--There is coverage of all Goodwin baseball issues, but the verbage relating to N162s and N167s is pretty minimal. However, there are photos of all the baseball N162s and all but two of the N167s.
