First of all, I saw the thread title and assumed to find at least one immature answer in here 😂
But to stay on point, I love so many of the Johnson cards shown here (and wish I had!) - but here is my one/only which I also love. The slightly oversized card, horizontal image and old timey font all work great for me

Not really a card, but I love the S-81 silk above all other commercial issues. For strictly cardboard, I would pick the T206 portrait as so many others here do also.

Curious if Walter had a favorite that you know of? Thanks Chad

No, I can only dream that he would have lived long enough to tell me that; or what the seventh game of the world series was like for him; or how to throw that slingshot fastball of his, among many other things, but it wasn't to be. I do know that the only card he saved in his little pre-marriage scrapbook, which he soon tired of trying to maintain not long into his career, was a T206 portrait. His wife Hazel, who was a fantastic scrapbooker, pasted several cards into them, but I think those were probably incidental items that people sent or gave to her--I don't think either one of them ever paid much attention to baseball cards or tried to put any kind of WaJo collection together. Again, I wish! Hank |

Johnson's 1909-13 M101-2 Sporting News Supplements is one of my favorites. Shown with his glove and chatting with his catcher, so visually can connect him as a pitcher, and extremely scarce, so it's not going to be in everyone's collection by a long shot.

I am also partial to his Horner portrait. Along with the T206 White Border and T204 Ramly cards shown above, his 1908 PC760 Rose Co postcard would be at the top of my list.

Kevin, that Rose Co is a dream card! So awesome. I agree - the Rose Co beats all.

Make it +2 on the exhibit. Awesome and unique image, and just hard enough to find to make it a challenge.

Just because I am fascinated with this set and the deep color, it's this one (most definitely not my card, although it should be) -
1910 Washington Times

This M113 (top card) of Walter is a pretty amazing piece. He has at least two poses (Doug Goodman?) that I know of in that long running set. The other one is also cool but is more standard. But these are very large sized. Still, that picture of his arm is a stunning period piece.

I'd probably say this Johnson is my favorite. It is the only one of the big train in my collection but I still enjoy it. It also hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.

Looks like Walter in the M113 was trying to compete with Christy in the arm extended pose category, and felt the need to strip half naked to do so. A cool item.
Here is Christy's attempt to obtain godlike stature, as seen in the front side perspective with his E92/E101/E102/E106 etc. cards (and in the Sistine Chapel) Brian (both cropped for your added enjoyment) |

While we are at it, might as well throw in the Pinkerton T5 but this one’s really tough to find.
