There are some really cool old postcards out there. The written text on this says "Your picture is on the wall of the Vendenn Cigar Store." Which was a cigar store in or near Weiser, Idaho, where he was playing when he was discovered by scouts from the Senators and promptly whisked off to the big leagues. So somebody who knew him in Weiser mailed him this postcard, probably not long after he left. Walter Johnson kept it and it was eventually sent to auction by his family estate. Super cool piece of history.
