Walter Johnson memorabilia

[Bartholomew_Bump_Bailey]

So the book turned out to be this from what I can tell. Turn's out Henry is also Walter Johnson's granson, which is neat. Oh, and this 5x7 glossy* fell out of the card as well.

BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE!

After catching my breath, I keep going through my purchase that I'm starting to feel much better about. I find this pamphlet** I have absolutely no idea what this is. I wanted to scan more pics b/c its about 15-20 pages or so, but it is really fragile. Any help with more info on this would be greatly appreciated.

There were more envelopes** as well, this one appearing to be hand drawn**, a vintage ad**, an 8x11 "cardstock" glossy photo thingy**, and a couple more cards**.

And lastly...........there were all of these(CONCLUDED ON PART 3 REPLY POST)

As you may know Henry is a member here and obviously could confirm his
Handwriting and perhaps let you know who he was writing to.

I never get tired of seeing Walter Johnson stuff, thanks for posting Mike. Looks like you might have some hidden gems in there.

No sir, I'm a bit new around here and was unaware. I'm all for someone other than a random nobody like myself, preferably someone who actually knows knows him, reaching out to have him take a gander.

I just hope he won't be upset to learn some random dude ended up winning such a personalized item, but fear not, as it's in good hands. Still shocked that I have these items hands, but good hands nonetheless........lol.

Lastly there was this set of cards/postcards, I haven't researched these yet, just scanned them in while I had everything out. Oh and some have info on the back and some are blank? And apologies though, I noticed while scanning that I cut the bottom off some cards, they are not damaged (they're in binder sleeves, fancy binder sleeves at that!).

Not too shabby I suppose, whaddya guys think?

[Bartholomew_Bump_Bailey]

there were 2 more scans I couldn't fit....lol

What an awesome treasure trove of stuff! Congratulations!

I love those All-Time Greats cards. Whoever picked out the photos for that set did a fantastic job!

That looks like the 1973-80 TCMA All Time Greats postcard set, nice images.

Hello Bartholomew,
That is indeed my note, and it was written to my cousin's son Darby, so I guess these items came from his collection. Enjoy!

Great find and congrats. That must have been very cool going through the stuff. A lot of us have had similar type experiences. They are a lot of fun and keep it interesting.

I can also help a little with the writing. Great book by a hobby gentleman.
