1918 Exhibition Game RPPCs and great article

One of the joys of being a dealer in vintage memorabilia is to have and enjoy things for awhile, then sell them to someone who also appreciates them and make a little money doing it. That photo sat prominently in my display all day Friday and most of Saturday, and nobody even asked about it. I had taken the trouble to copy that article and looked forward to talking to people about it and telling them the story. As I said at the time, you've got a good eye and good taste, Joe! And for those who like to disparage the few vintage shows remaining instead of supporting them so they won't disappear altogether, how bad could a show be that has items like this waiting for someone to come along and discover them?

Hank -
I look forward to visiting your table every time I head to shows. And I thank you for that. I will see you at the National!


For those of you who don't know Hank, or have not stopped by his table.... I urge you to stop by his table and get to know him.

You would be hard pressed to find a nicer person, he always has cool stuff available to purchase, pricing is fair, and the conversations are great.

Great piece of BB history on both - Thanks for the see-an-read

Also for those who don't know Hank Thomas, he is the grandson of Walter Johnson and the author of the book "Walter Johnson- Baseball's Big Train". This is the definitive book on Johnson and a great read. I couldn't put it down. As stated before, Hank is a great guy and make a point of saying hello to him at the National this year if you attend.

Joe, great item and story. That's the kind of memorabilia up my alley. I have a few different Walter Johnson rppcs from similar games in Kansas. Lucky for me that game was in Oklahoma or I'd be going crazy.

did I type Oklahoma? I meant to type Kansas.
