1907-1910 Weiser Wonder - Walter Johnson PC, new to the hobby

Photo used to make the postcard dates to 1907

Postcard itself is of a later date, almost certainly 1909+, no way these were made when he was at Weiser.

Why do you say that though? Weiser was a nothing team in a nothing league with no star power at all. Now all of a sudden their best player is on his way to the Majors and making his debut 2 weeks after playing for them. Seems likely that they would have produced the card. It would be like if someone from my Little League team signed a contract and was on the mound 2 weeks later. I would think the town would rally behind them just for making it and not wait for them to be a star, no?

Rhys,

I am not disputing you; however, am wondering what leads you to believe this.

Please let me know.

Respectfully,

Eric

Granted, I am fairly certain that PSA was incorrect in noting this issue as being from 1901; however, the two postcards look similar enough to me that it is reasonable to consider they may be the same issue. The image from the OP and the Goodwin auction both appear below.





Thoughts and feedback would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Eric
