Posted By: <b>brian p</b><p>The cards are from the W575-1 strip set. There is a collector on this board that would be very interested in the one with the Henry Johnson back stamp--it is his speciality.<br><br>Brian

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Hey there:<br><br>That's me who collects the Henry Johnson backs.<br><br>At least I HOPE that's me; I think I'm the only guy stupid enough to be trying to assemble an entire set.<br><br>I do need a Maranville, so Rob, if you're interested in parting with that one, I'm a willing buyer/trader.<br><br>(Sorry for the solicitation, but it's a compulsion of mine).<br><br>-Al

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Folks knowing you collect those is about the same as folks knowing I am a type card collector.....When I see those Henry Johnson stamped cards the first thing I think of is you.....That's not a bad thing, for you, as a collector. regards

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Thanks, Leon.<br><br>That's one of the good things about this board. I feel the same way about Ed McCollum, when I see those Howe McCormick stamps on the backs of the T206s.<br><br>When this thread went up, I got two emails from other people, alerting me to it, before I saw it myself. That's way cool, and much appreciated.<br><br>-Al
