1921 SGC Exhibit W.Johnson - wrong?

[Touch'EmAll]

On ebay closing tonight is a 1921 Exhibit Walter Johnson SGC 60 - however, I think the only real 1921 Exhibit is with him throwing, horizontal pose - I could be wrong.

If this is incorrect labeling by SGC, what is the correct year/series for this Johnson card?

Big thanks, sorry no can do links. I wanna bid, but unsure ???

It's a '26-'29 PC Back Exhibit.
I'm bidding too, good luck.

Yes, I do believe you are correct with the 1926-29 pc issue. I just love the 1920's exhibits.

My grandfather used to live in D.C. - he saw W.Johnson live several times - said he was the best pitcher he ever saw. My mom saw Koufax when she lived in Hollywood as a young girl. And I saw Ryan when I lived in SoCal in 1970's.

I wish MLB would come to Portland, OR - my friends don't understand the baseball hype as they did not grow up with the game. You have a whole different love for the game when its a part of your local life.

That's why I don't understand some of these people calling for contraction...In any sport..

Upon closer examination, the back of this Walter Johnson is blank.

The real 1926-29 Exhibits always have "Postcard" pre-printed on the upper back with a pre-printed square to put the stamp.

So... is this intfact a 1926-29 Exhibit? Or a rare variation that had no print on back? Or is it not really a 1926-29 after all?

I doubt it is a 1921 like the SGC label says. And now I doubt it is a 1926-29. The mystery deepens - what is it?

I put in a solid bid last night - lucky enough to get it - but I am unsure of exactly what year/issue it really is.

ps I really tried to paste a link, can't figure it out, sorry

It's 26-29 Exhibits. The first run ("Set 81") was blank backed. Adam or Scott can probably go into it more.
