Old Judge set

Post by sabrjay on Tue Feb 05, 2008 7:52 pm

This is a massive set issued from 1887-1890. Cards actually sepia toned photos mounted on very heavy cardboard. Pink and purple tints are also found. I've heard of an olive tint, but never seen one.

If you have a checklist for any team, please list it. If the team doesn't have a thread yet, feel free to start one. I have an archive of about 500 different OJ images that I'll be posting by team as this tends to be the most common way it is collected.

Any help with identifying the team of the cards below in this thread would be appreciated.

According to the 2007 SCD, the McQuaid is Denver, the Nagle is Omaha and Nicholson can be found denoted on the St. Louis Whites or on Cleveland.

Here's truly amazing card. Bill Farmer played a total of 5 games in the majors in 1888. He played 2 games for Pittsburg in NL and 3 games for Philadelphia in AA. It's possible the team listed on the card is a minor league team.

He has another card where he is with St Paul, but it doesn't look like St Paul on this card.
