Goodwin "Weiser Wonder" Walter Johnson postcard

[barrysloate]

I would make note of all the postally used examples and track the dates, even if only a few examples can be verified. If all the dates are in the 1918 era, then it is almost impossible that they were issued ten years prior.

I can't imagine trying to put together a catalog while dealing with the distractions some auction houses can be subject to these days.

Cut Bill Goodwin some slack, please.

There are plenty of good explanations for why a postcard made a decade earlier would be mailed in 1918. There are not a lot of good explanations (other than a commemorative issue, which is not indicated) for why it would be produced in 1918, but not depict Johnson in a Washington uniform.
