Therefore, this tells us that Walter Johnson (pitching) must exist as a RED CROSS (T215-1) card.

Ted, thanks for trying to enlighten me with your T215-1 theory, which, in fact, I grasped the first time you presented it. You theory really means the the WaJo (pitching) card MUST HAVE BEEN PRINTED 100+ years ago, as opposed to meaning that this card MUST EXIST today, which is what I am trying to ascertain. As we both know, it is generally believed that there are many cards that were printed back in the day for which no examples any longer exist. Knowing that you have been involved with pre-War cards much longer than I have, have you ever seen a T215-1 WaJo or know of anyone who has one?
Val
