Depends on the war.

I think you have a nice Johnston, though it appears that you are pretty rough on it.

This is usually not good,

Thanks everyone...I was fearing the worst on this one and am pleasantly surprised I appreciate everyone's input!

,based on my raw and graded Johnston Cookie cards, that your example matches up just fine. I have a few of all the years of both Johnston & Spic & Span because I live in Wisconsin. I wonder if a fraudster would crease and scrapbook damage a reprint. I don't remember tho if Larry Fritsch sold these as one of his reprint sets which would offer up a piece for someone to work with. So...I think your scan shows you have a good card.

Without actually having my PSA Ex "5" in front of me, I would agree it looks good. Great pickup, and a lot of potential there over the years after the current investor market dissipates--so much tougher than the Topps rookie, plus Johnston Cookies, per my info, had its factory just beyond the outfield fences at old County Stadium in Milwaukee!

May joy follow you in your collecting,

Larry
