Walter Johnson, The Big Train

Great thread. Lots of rarely seen stuff. Especially love the Wood-Johnson showdown post card.

David, each one is fantastic

Outstanding cards, David! The PC805 uses the same photo as the PC796.

Not that I don't love all of the cards in this thread but the first postcard here is just great. I love the arms folded pose of the Big Train...

Thanks, Leon. Was kinda sorry to see the Nats go down last night. Been a long time since Washington has had something to cheer about. I first showed this postcard in the September 2010 Pickups thread (the trainwreck where the guy posted a picture of a deer he bagged) and thanks to the able assistance of Mark F and Val K was able to ascertain that the photo was taken in the spring of 1918.

Always enjoy seeing any items of Walter Johnson. Only have this one to add but always on the lookout for others. On a side note, that 1925 Exhibit is awesome. Just check out the angle of Johnson`s plant foot, that is some torque.

Agreed, one of my favorite postcards David!

Some awesome cards here.. love the signed Exhibits.

My WaJos are mostly garden variety, but added this guy last week, which is a bit scarcer.

Haha, for sure. I've seen this mistake a lot, though the sets are pretty distinctly different from each other.

I'm not a big pop report guy, but know there are far fewer E122s. Of course at least one or more of those listed as E121 is an E122.

Not a card, but I really like this photo.

Many more than 1....I think I can recall 3-4 I have seen without having to think too hard. Not In their defense but E121 vs E122 is a pretty common mistake. Here was the E122 type I had in my first collection...
