Description
Historically Significant Walter Johnson Signed Postal Card with Pasted Cut-Out Image. Up for auction is a genuine artifact of immense historical interest, a Walter Johnson Signed Postal Card. This card, underlining the heritage of America's favorite pastime, features an attached cut out of the iconic sporting figure himself, Walter Johnson. Originating from the "golden age" of baseball, this humble postal card carries an autograph situated on the lower half of the postcard. The signature of Walter Johnson, one of the founding members of the '500 Win Club' and a towering figure in the sport, is placed neatly beneath his fastidiously pasted image. The juxtaposition adds a unique three-dimensionality, bringing the card's history to life. The card measures 5 1/2" x 3 1/2", typical of historical postal cards, offering a large and clear canvas for the signature. Johnson's autograph is penned in what appears to be black ink and portrays a confident flourish indicative of his time - a striking encapsulation of the signer's character, underscored by the profound simplicity and authenticity of the item. The attached photograph of Johnson is a standout feature, evoking powerful nostalgia. Notably, it depicts the pitcher often referred to as the "Big Train" donned in his Washington Senators uniform, capturing the aura and dynamism that kept audiences captivated throughout his illustrious career. It is thought to be one of only a few images that survived and reminisces about the time when athletes began to rise as national icons. Despite its century-old existence, the card remains seductively unscathed. It has been professionally authenticated, guaranteeing its originality and authenticity. Please note, however, that it does embody the quaint marks and wear consistent with its age, unapologetically showcasing its journey through time. These minor imperfections do nothing to mar its historical weight; rather they add character to this treasured memento. Bidding on this item is not just procuring an autographed card; it's becoming a guardian to a piece of baseball's rich history, signifying a connection between you and the golden age of America's favorite pastime. This item is a cherished relic, a poignant reminder of the talent, sportsmanship, and legacy that the great Walter Johnson left behind. Don't miss this opportunity to own an artifact that truly encapsulates the ebb and flow of baseball's history, capturing the essence of this extraordinary sport through one man's autograph and depiction. This Walter Johnson Signed Postal Card warrants a place in any discerning collector's ensemble. This item has been forensically reviewed and authenticated and comes with a Letter of Authenticity and an authenticity guarantee.
