I hate it but wouldn't trade it
I don't mind black-and-white cards, although this one seems particularly drab. What bothers me about this card is it shows the greatest pitcher of the era batting. I realize that in 1921 pitchers hitting was taken more seriously than it is today and Johnson was above average with the stick (for a pitcher). But the National League almost implemented a DH as long ago as 1893 and Connie Mack was an early advocate. So, even in 1921, pitcher hitting was viewed as a chink in the game's appeal.
Having said all that, however, I have to admit I love the card because it is so perverse and therefore unique that, well, you know. Never mind. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1606391793
