1921 SGC Exhibit W.Johnson - wrong?

[Touch'EmAll]

Yes, I do believe you are correct with the 1926-29 pc issue. I just love the 1920's exhibits.

My grandfather used to live in D.C. - he saw W.Johnson live several times - said he was the best pitcher he ever saw. My mom saw Koufax when she lived in Hollywood as a young girl. And I saw Ryan when I lived in SoCal in 1970's.

I wish MLB would come to Portland, OR - my friends don't understand the baseball hype as they did not grow up with the game. You have a whole different love for the game when its a part of your local life.

That's why I don't understand some of these people calling for contraction...In any sport..

Upon closer examination, the back of this Walter Johnson is blank.

The real 1926-29 Exhibits always have "Postcard" pre-printed on the upper back with a pre-printed square to put the stamp.

So... is this intfact a 1926-29 Exhibit? Or a rare variation that had no print on back? Or is it not really a 1926-29 after all?

I doubt it is a 1921 like the SGC label says. And now I doubt it is a 1926-29. The mystery deepens - what is it?

I put in a solid bid last night - lucky enough to get it - but I am unsure of exactly what year/issue it really is.

ps I really tried to paste a link, can't figure it out, sorry

It's 26-29 Exhibits. The first run ("Set 81") was blank backed. Adam or Scott can probably go into it more.

Had it on my watch list as well. Nice pickup!

Here's the link.

Big thanks you guys. Net54 rocks!

So some 1926-29 Postcard back Exhibits were actually blank backed, hmmm - you learn something every day. And I thought I was pretty good with these cards. Any chance of someone looking up the PSA pop numbers on this card? Thanks again.

This one will fit in well with my collection, er, investments, haha.

The stengel exhibit went from $500 to $1100 in the last 5 seconds of the auction also. Congrats on the Johnson pick up

I think PSA POP reports are free to anyone now.
