Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>Thought I would share this pickup with the memorabilia board...<br /><br />Absolutely one of my all-time favorite pickups!<br /><br />The provenance is just awesome -<br />Both items came from Walter Johnson's own scrapbooks.<br /><br />1909 Santa Ana All Starts Real Photo Postcard<br />and<br />1909 'Johnson Day' - program cover - Association Park, Santa Ana<br />...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.internetville.com/stuff/santaAnaAllStars.jpg"><br /><img src="http://internetville.com/stuff/walterDay.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>Joe, very nice, that program is spectacular. Is there anything special inside? I like the Cracker Jack Johnson you upgraded. That's one of the all-time cards ever.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br />Clint<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I did see a full program... but I did not take note of the inside (I should have).<br /><br />The item I have is just the program cover.<br /><br />It is a front cover cut-out, and the date was cut from another panel of the program and pasted on the top portion - and then it became part of Walter Johnson's own scrapbook.<br /><br />At some point, if I can get a scan of the whole program I will post it.<br /><br /><br />edit to say: clint - thanks for the kind words about the CJ upgrade.... just one thing... the CJ Johnson is not 'one of'... it is 'the' all-time greatest card ever created <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> (just my humble / biased opinion)
