Most Desirable OJ Poses

what are the most desirable (don't factor in value or toughness) poses in the OJ set?

A few that come to mind for me:

The 3 cards with a mascot

Whitney with dog

Hoss Radbourne flipping the bird.

Lee

Agreed on all counts!

Slight correction in that it is Old Hoss Radbourn on the bird flip. I would love to get a bold-imaged Whitney with dog, that would be fantastic.

I thought Amos Rusie didn't sound right.



Lee

A card I would add is Moxie Hengle in the dead man/I fell asleep waiting for my picture to be taken pose

I know that is one of your popular one's Jay, but I really have not heard of many others that even know of the card or it's existence. If others think otherwise please say.

Kid Madden, leaning against a rock, is a beautiful card and if you ever get your hands on one you would have about 20 collectors beating down your door for it.

You read my mind Chris. I'd settle for a scan at this point, because I know I ain't gonna ever get the card.

Can't say I've ever seen that one.

There's some cards with really interesting nature backgrounds... a Phenomenal Smith throwing pose, maybe all the Phenomenal Smiths, plus there is a Bill McClellan card that sold in last REA where the guy is fielding the ball while standing at the foot of a rolling hill - that's a really unique card that I find interesting.

I also really like the shots with the old fields in the background....shows how far the game has come and far it has fallen at the same time.

KBats are the best for field shots. Almost all the Brooklyn OJ field shots are all almost exactly like the pose above, next the base moved next to the bleachers.

Here it is. (not mine)

Kid lives up to his name on that card.....looks about 13 years old in that pose. Thanks for posting the scan Brian - great card!

Moxie Hengle (fast asleep pose)

here are a couple examples that are some of my favorites.

and I've always liked this background on the Chicago cards.

heres an example of Phenomenal Smith.

Isn't that the same one as the "ready for my enema pose"?

and the "dead man pose" and the "If I have to sit still this long for a photo I'm laying down and taking a nap pose"
