Dan,
From the home page click onto the "Helpful Information for Collectors" tab.
Then click onto the "Virtual Sets by Checklists" tab.
In there you will see a number of options to choose from for a search on
various sets, etc. Click on the "19th Century" tab to view the Old Judges
Mr. Riddler is speaking of.

Thanks for posting all those great Old Judge images, Riddler. The breadth of that set is truly astounding.
Looking forward to Jay Miller's book coming out. I reckon N172's will be getting more attention once it does. At this point methinks they're a wee bit under appreciated.

Seth has been saying that for a long time. Yet nothing changes.
I think that 19th century baseball is simply viewed as the sport under development, and therefore not directly applicable to baseball after 1900.
Heck, in the beginning of the NL, pitchers had to throw underhanded, and the batters could require a high or low pitch. Strikeouts were not typically enforced until the batter was warned. Sometimes walks counted as hits, other times the batter was charged for an unproductive time at bat. The pitcher threw from 40 - 50 feet away for most of the 1800s. The list of reasons goes on, but the bottom line is that most baseball history buffs do not care to spend the time required to research this era, nor the negro leagues.
And until that sentiment changes, collectors of material from these areas will continue to enjoy (what many perceive as) bargain pricing.
But really, Ben, these guys are not the type you are likely to bump into unless you are on Ben & Gil's Excellent Adventure:
