That is a great, great card.
Leon - I don't think it is 20x too high. Closer to the 10x you mentioned. very cool card.

I wish they had not grouped the other cards in with the Johnson.

Nutty price, but one interesting fact: the Johnson card isn't on any checklist of cards from this set. The current SCD list shows 103 unique players, so this would make 104.

Yeah, after more thought, I think the WOJO would be in the 5k range but ya never know....so 10x too much would be closer. As far as being catalogued these are D381 Ferguson's and are much scarcer than even the D381 Flieschmann's. As I told the seller, there are only a few Ferguson's with tabs known. I have only ever seen 2 and even questioned if they came with one, at one time. But then someone showed an old Xerox of a coupon so I believed it. Then of course I was able to get one of the 2 I had ever seen. I paid a ton for it but what is a type collector to do? For all you newbies out there, or others that just don't know, the Ferguson's have one line of writing under the picture and the Fleischmanns have 2 lines of writing. That is the way to tell. I would imagine the checklists would be the same but all D381's are so scarce it's hard to say for sure. best regards

Leon, The Casey Stengel with the Fleischmann's tab (not Ferguson like one would suspect) comes with one line of text BUT he is the only "Fleischmann one-liner" I have ever seen (also I have never seen a Stengel with 2 lines). This isn't really an issue unless one is paying a premium for a non-tabbed Stengel because they think they are getting a Ferguson. Anyways, just sharing an observation while we are talking about the D381's!

That Johnson is a beautiful card and may well be a 1 of 1 at this point. It will be interesting to see if The Big Train can command as much as Strasberg in this upside down hobby.

One line, but it's a Fleischmann's, not a Ferguson's.

Yes, there are other fleischmanns with one line ID too but not many. I know this because all of my original D381's were from my great grandpa who's from NY, so i know they're all Fleischmanns even though they don't have tabs. I know the Stengel is one, Red Smith is another and there is one or two more. I'll have to check.
I guess I can add the Johnson to my want list, although it probably won't ever be crossed off.... this Johnson is featured on the Ferguson felt Pillow top Premium also.
