Won this 1924 snapshot from the Johnson estate in the most recent Love Of The Game auction. Pictured are George Mogridge, Walter Johnson, Joe Judge, John Martina, Roger Peckinpaugh, and Pinky Hargrave with their children. As a side note, the highlight of the Philly Show for me was talking with Al whose passion for the hobby and the game was well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive.

Hi Jay, nice 1916 Herps card of WaJo! Guess I'll just have to find another OJ you don't have (fat chance of this happening!)!

There are 2 poses of WaJo in the 1921 American Caramel set known as E121 - Series of 80, a hands-at-chest pose and a throwing pose. From Rhett's extremely informing article re the E121 and related sets that appeared in the Fall 2011 issue (#26) of Old Cardboard magazine, I learned that E121-80s can be found with 4 different back printing variations. Also, the printing on the backs of most E121-80s reads from top to bottom (when the card flipped over), but some cards have been found with back printing that reads from bottom to top.

The WaJo hands-at-chest pose has been found with the Type 1 and Type 4 back printing variations, as shown below. The back printing on the Type 4 reads from bottom to top.

Odd that Johnson is wearing the away uniform...
