Derek, very nice Piedmont's! one of the toughest and underappreciated issues of the early 20th century. Even ones with nice fronts usually have back damage due to the adhesive gum, making it doubly tough to find problem free examples.

Getting back to the E121-80s, the pitching pose of WaJo is easier than the hands-at-chest post - there are almost 50 listed in the combined pop reports. However, most of these have the Type 1 backs (the pop reports do not distinguish by back). I am confident there are less than 20 of each with the Type 2 and Type 3 backs, as shown below:

I do not know what the pop #'s are on this T202......so whatever, I still had to display it.
I don't have too many T202's, but Johnson is the favorite in my T202 set. http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...sonxknight.jpg TED Z T206 Reference . |

Ted, I'll give you a pass for your T202 WaJo, provided it has a black Factory 30 back! But really Ted, you should acquire some low-pop cards for your collection! :D (just teasin' ya, Ted)

A thread on the main board has pretty much run out of steam when it falls to page 2. Many thanks to everyone who contrbuted their fantastic cards to this thread - fabulous eye candy. Here's one final post of two more low-pop, B & W, real-photo cards (everyone loves these - right?) that were produced from the same photo of WaJo - an E126 and a M101-6:

It's time to bump this thread up for another round of "oldies, but goodies".

Not enough Alexander here is my favorite.

I think someone could retire comfortably on the value of the cards in this thread. Here is a Sporting Life something (probably ad cut) WaJo......

Both variations:
|
Val, are they from different years? Why would the same company put out two totally different backs?
|
Ryan, as far as I know, both variations are from the same year, however, some cards in this set have been found with a 1927 copyright date. Cards have also been found with blank backs, and these are believed to have been cut from an advertising sheet. Not being a set collector, I don't know much about this set. Here are links to other info re this set, including past Net54 threads:

As far as I know only Ruth has been found with a 1927 date on it. There are around 3-5 of those known. And one I used to own..

But guess I should add it here too....
PSA/SGC combined is 19... but if you separate blank back vs score card back the pop will be lower... |
Great Matty Brian! Have always liked that shot of him.

Don't think you'll find an earlier Walter Johnson autograph than this one from 1908:

Joe, thanks much and thanks for selling it. Keep me in mind if you get tired of the W600 Matty.
Jay, in awe of that collection. I can only begin to imagine the time and effort that must take. |

Here are a few pretty difficult combos for Matty, Cy and the Big Train. They Young in particular is one I have seen very few of over the years.
Jay, that Johnson portrait with an Old Mill back ... wow! That is a combination that is notoriously difficult to find and yours is very lovely. Congrats! Awesome cards everyone. Thank you for sharing! Derek |
Quote:
Awesome either way. |
Thanks all for the kind words. Yes that is all of the possible combinations. As Derek mentioned the Old Mill is by far the toughest.
Steven, that’s quite a compliment coming from you - with all the heat you’ve been posting lately. Took about 16 months from the start of the project when I had 2, to completion last month when I found the Old Mill. I have 14/19 on pitching, but there are a few roadblocks there :) |
I’m close on the Young Portrait as well. But this is a MUCH easier run to complete.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ce66ae87_o.jpg |
Jay, you back runs are simply mesmerizing! Looking forward to seeing your WaJo pitching-pose back run, even though not complete - 14/19 ain't too shabby!
|
That’s 16 months of patience I can’t seem to find. I start on a path...and then another...and then something else and before I know it I have a mishmash of a little bit of everything. When it all comes together like yours it’s pretty damn nice though. Congrats on it!

Just to add a little more color....
I think just 6 or so combined PSA/SGC for this W-UNC https://i917.photobucket.com/albums/...pseua4qpms.jpg And only 5 or so of the Turkey red ad version on the SGC report, don't think PSA grades these... https://i917.photobucket.com/albums/...psth5f5xjz.jpg |
whoops. I posted Cobbs. Edited to remove them. My bad.
Still Love this thread! |

Jay, let me help you with a couple of holes on that WaJo pitching run of yours. You’re a lot closer to finishing than I’ll ever be.

Jake Arrieta had a historic 2016 World Series, but Mordecai Brown is still the most important pitcher in Cubs history. https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/brown-mordecai

Not sure how many of these are out there. He had 5 years to sign them:

This one may have a few more than 20, but this thread needs more Alexander cards.

Just picked this up in the LOTG auction last night... I was very excited this morning to see that I had actually won!! Yay!

Just in from REA.
Might as well add another Walter M101-6. I love damage on blank backs on otherwise great looking cards. http://luckeycards.com/walter1.jpg |

Great cards, guys!
