I have talked to Hank several times about Walter Johnson's tenure in Weiser. I live only about 45 minutes from Weiser and it is a cool little town. It was a booming town in 1910 but has about the same population today that it had in 1907. Interesting that it had more opium dens than photographer shops when Walter was there.
I have ALWAYS wanted this postcard because of where I live and my feeling that Johnson is far and away the best pitcher in the game. I do agree with my brother though that this is certainly a 1915-1920 issue date but in the long run, it does not matter when it was issued. It is rare and desirable enough to collectors that only the die hard "Rookie" collectors would really care if this was issued in 1907 or 1915. Goodwin did not need all the fluff on this item. Rare cards and pieces of memorabilia can many times speak for themselves and this is one of those cases. Rhys |
