Walter Johnson Estate Photo - Spring Training

He bought them and was free to do anything with them he wanted, of course, but it's a little depressing to feel like you've been gamed.

100% agree Hank, it's happened to most of us unfortunately.

Sorry to hear that, Hank. Though Walter pitching in a bow tie is a great photo.

Feel free to go for it, by all means. I've let go of tons of stuff under all kinds of circumstances, and once something leaves my possession it's gone to me and I hope every piece finds a good home and make someone happy. I just saw this post, and took the opportunity to lay out the story and vent a little. I have no idea what the guy's original intentions were, but from the timing of it I would guess the museum thing was a fabrication.

Hank - I am the one listing and want to state that I wasn't the one who told that story as I bought this one from a different seller. I've enjoyed the item as it has brought me as close as I will get to the greatest pitcher of all time. But with that being said, a change in my families personal life has led me to release some of my prized possessions. My hope is that the winner enjoys it as much as I have.
