Phil, if you see this, what is the story behind the Yahtzee box?

The checklist on the verso of the 1912 Boston Garters shows Walter Johnson as being part of the set. Yet, I have never seen an image of the card. Some years ago when I raised this issue someone responded that he had seen the card and can confirm it exists, yet did not produce an image.

Has anyone else seen/heard of the card and if so, can he/she provide an image?

I have never seen a Walter Johnson either.

Tris Speaker is listed on the checklist too. Has anyone ever seen one?

Kevin - I have only seen Johnson & Speaker examples from the 1914 set.

Leland's had one in an auction about 20 years ago, and I saw it in person at their offices. I think it went for around 5K.

Thanks for the response Hank.

Are you sure it was not the 1913 Garter Johnson? That card is known and has come up from time to time. When I go onto the Lelands website and do a search of their past auctions, the 1912 Garter Johnson does not appear.

Hank - You might be thinking about the ten 1914 Boston Garters that Leland's sold back in 1994. They came from Dennis Goldstein's collection.

Here is a page from the catalog with Johnson in middle.

Not sure why images that I take with my iPhone come out oriented like this.

Leon's present and past personal collections have long been available for all Net54 members to enjoy viewing. You can get to them via the "Vintage Links" at the top of the page, or to just use this link: https://www.luckeycards.com/personal.html Just click on any line item in this listing, and you will see pics of the specific cards.

I have long-collected pre-War type cards, and I have long-used Leon's fantastic collections as a visual catalog, especially when I wasn't sure what a specific type card I didn't have actually looked like. Leon, I have truly appreciated this wonderful reference material that you have made available to all of us.
