Pete:

I'm pretty sure someone else on 54 has one, but I didn't think I'd ever find another. I don't think anyone really knows how many Henry Johnsons are out there - I'm trying to collect as many as I can find, or at least to find out where as many are as possible, but I had resigned myself to a Ruth being a dead end.

If you use the W575-1 checklist, like the Catalogs suggest, then there's also a Ruth "with bird" that was produced. However, I'm not aware of anyone actually having catalogued this set, so I have no idea if it was ever actually made available. I'm also unsure that these are actually W575-1s and not blank-backed E121s, and don't have enough of them yet to try and figure out which checklist should be used to find out how many cards are possible.

I'm obsessed with these silly cards, though, and owning both a Ruth and a Cobb has me really stoked.

Now all I need is to find a Johnson, an Alexander, a Ruth "bird", and about 165 others, and I'll have a whole set!
