My Si Johnson collection
I collected Si Johnson because he is from my home town of Sheridan, IL. One of his claims to fame was that he was the last pitcher to strike out Babe Ruth.
Unfortunately, I never got to meet him. The day I planned on meeting him was at a small local card show, but I got there with an hour to go and he left 15 minutes earlier because no one was stopping by to get his autograph. To his credit, he did leave several autographed 3 1/2 x 5 color photos in case someone, like me, did arrive late. So, I got two different ones, which I cherish. I made the 33 Goudey card artwork from a vintage local newspaper photo clipping. Not too bad for an amateur, in my humble opinion. I realize the 1947 Tip Top is not Pre-War and certainly not the 1985 National Pastime card. However, my Si Johnson collection wouldn't be complete without them. Enjoy the Si Johnson collection!
