Not an understatement. Beautiful pieces.

IMHO, this is one of the all-time-great threads - hope it never dies!

This photo of WaJo dates to the late summer of 1912, when the Senators players wore black arm bands following the death of team co-owner and president Thomas C. Noyes. A 3'+ tall rendition of this photo hung inside Griffith Stadium for many years, and it was auctioned by Legendary in November 2010 - http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=111077

A WaJo fan has written of the back of this PC, "pitched his first World Series game on the below date" - the date this fan wrote, October 3, 1924, is incorrect - WaJo pitched the first game, which took place on October 4th. But, the fan did correctly note that WaJo lost 2 games and won 1 game (the 7th game) of the Series.

Despite its pathetic condition, I really like this PC. Unless my "CRS" memory is failing me again, I have never seen another example of this PC. Has anyone else ever seen one?

Mine was was mailed by former New York Yankees catcher Pius "Pie" Schwert during the 1925 World Series.

First in War, First in Peace, and (very infrequently!) FIRST in the American League!

Jeff, many thanks for showing your very-nice example of this striking WaJo PC.
Best,
Val

Love that Johnson postcard, Val and Jeff. Really great.
I posted this first one in the Weiser Wonder PC thread too.
