Hi Hank
Not being patronizing here but you probably know more than anyone about Walter Johnson. I don't have any info to dispute that span of dates you mentioned. I don't know why a company would produce a card AFTER the player left a team, rather than when he played for it, but it could be solely for publicity/advertising. Without other contradictory evidence I think there is reason to believe it was printed in the 1907 time frame. And as you mentioned, and can well be seen by the postmark, it couldn't have been printed after 1910. Here is another article sent to me by a nice board member...One other thing that makes this postcard a bit more interesting is that it is actually postmarked from
Weiser, going to Boise. There seems to be a lot of info pertaining to Walter and those cities.
