In my opinion, one of the first choices is to determine if the cards actually have to be gradable. There are a great many OJs which have had the cigarette advertisement removed a long time ago, and represent a very cost effective option which can yield a very attractive authentic card which both will not grade and are therefore available rather inexpensively. |

Thanks for the reply. I don't plan to have raw cards I buy graded, I just used the SGC grades to let everyone know the grade level I was interested in. Altered & Authentic cards would be acceptabe - but I would like to know that they are in that condition. Just learning at this point. |

Before you buy anything, go buy the first volume of Lew Lipset's Baseball Card Encyclopedia. This is the volume that deals with 19th century and has a large chapter on N172s. Granted it was done more than 20 years ago and some of it is our of date, it is still one of the best sources of information on the set. Also, Joe G. and Jay Miller wrote a great article on the set in a past Old Cardboard issue. I'd try to get a copy of that (I can't recall the issue number), and subscribe to the magazine if you haven't already. |

Gil is correct. Reprints are easy to identify as they have dot pattern under maginfication. The real Old Judges have no dot pattern, as they're photographs not ink and printing press prints. |
