Can you make it bigger, Chad? Kind of hard to see.
Not sure I trust SGC on the date; they tend to put whatever someone tells them on the flips when it comes to obscure stuff. My guess is that the submitter assumed that the company's conversion to a limited company ("ltd.") in 1908 meant that the item had to be pre-conversion. That may not be right. Johnson won the title in December 1908. The image itself also may be 1908; needs research. Still a beautiful piece.

Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, Jack Johnson! In honor of Mr. Johnson’s birthday I figured I could post a few pics of some cards that you don’t see that often. It looks like I grabbed the wrong box. I guess we’ll have to settle for a few blank backs tonight. The Johnson W590 is rarely even talked about by Johnson collectors. I haven’t seen one up for auction in a while. I also really enjoy collecting the W-UNC cards due to they are often found on different stock. I have another that looks almost orange when photographed. The sad thing is they’re hardly worth the cardboard they were printed on.

Unknown postcard
Adam, after seeing your Marciano postcard above it made me think of this Johnson postcard. Has anyone seen this postcard before? It’s obviously from 1908 due to the stamp on the back. I’ve always assumed the signature is a facsimile.

I have some good news and some bad news for you. The bad news is that what you posted is not a Sports Co card; the dummies at SGC mislabeled it. The good news is that it is a very rare 1920s tobacco card from Thailand. Nearly every example of these cards, and there are very few (I had a partial set including the Johnson go missing in NY customs enroute from the UK about 15 years ago and still mourn the loss), came out of Thailand directly or via the UK. Here is my type from the set:  And in honor of JJ's birthday:
