1915 Cracker Jack Advertising Poster

Looks like your Johnson was in the equivalent spot as Tris Speaker in the above poster.

Hi Rhett,
Many thanks for taking a close look at my WaJo piece and seeing how it could have been in the same spot as Speaker on a similar poster. I now see that letters on the back appear to match up with Speaker's position on the poster, which I hadn't noticed earlier.
Best,
Val

Also, the Walter Johnson you have is from the 1914 Advertising Card. I am working on a remake of this poster but I have never seen an original. Putting it together from cut out cards. I know the text on the 1914 back differs from the known copy of the '15. I am excited to figure it out. Please keep posting cut out cards.

Note, the missing cards from my '14 layout may be the same players as on the '15 advertising card.

Mike, here are your cards laid out over the advertising poster. I set the transparency to see both front and back.

I need cutout card scans. Should I start a new thread requesting these or would you all agree this post is sufficient. I have some holes in the 1914 poster and some questions about another 1915 version with Baker. I've searched extensively, don't think I can do more without your help.

Here is a Tinker (front and back). Tinker is at the bottom center on the 1915 poster. I bought this card with some 1914 cutouts. It could be from 1914. However, since the 1914 poster seems to have used different players, my guess is from 1915.

Sorry I can't add any requested info here but would be interested in one if available for sale.
