Mike,
that, "one ear" is a beaut.
Thank you for sharing.

Love the set, if anyone has a Zack Wheat I would be immensely interested in working out a deal for it. The only one I own:

Because almost all of his noggin is showing on the front, and some of the text still exists on the back, along with the bonus inclusion of some cool, foil-like tape, this Piedmont Art Stamp of Archer in my collection is proudly self-graded to be AAI (Authentically As Is).

The only other collector who I think would be thrilled to have this T330-2 of WaJo is brianp-beme (hi Brian - hope all is going well for you). Actually, the two sections of this T330-2 are from two separate WaJo stamps!

Thanks for thinking about me Val when you posted the T330-2 Walter Johnson. Something like this just makes the collector in me smile. I figure that at one point someone had the top section, and came across another copy that was all messed up but had a nice bottom. A nice slicing cut on that bottom portion approximating the ragged angle at the bottom of the top section, and presto, you have a practically complete and serviceable example of a big name hall of famer.

of John Wayne Bobbitt and the similar piecing together of his Johnson--a junk-era reference some of the younger members of the board may need to look up.

That must be a hard card for Val to have accepted into his Johnson collection in that condition.

Happy Holidays!

Brian, what you figured is pretty much spot on, except that the two WaJo sections were together when I acquired them at the 1916 Atlantic City National, and there were sections of a couple other T330-2s stuck to the back of the WaJo sections. In hindsight, if I had used a different approach to separating all the sections (e.g., soaking), I might have ended up with a slightly better top section of WaJo. here is what the front of this piece looked like when I got it (I didn't take a scan of the back side when I got it).
