T206 W. Johnson backs question

[Archive]

Posted By: B O'Brien

Hello everyone,
I casually started a low grade Walter Johnson (pitching) T206 backs collection a couple years ago. I am not ready to start on the tough ones yet, but I heard tell a couple weeks ago that the Broad Leaf 460 is a PSA 7. Can you folks confirm, and which pose is it? Does anyone happen to have a scan of this one or know a price history?
Thanks for the help in advance,
B. O'Brien

It's the pitching pose and I think it's an SGC 60 but
I am not 100% on that. It's been a month or so since I
saw it.

If you don't mind me asking.....which backs do you already have?

Good luck on your conquest.

Maybe Gary N can chime in, since it's his card.

Ted,
I have also seen a couple Old Mill backs. I had one back in the mid 1990's and sold it at the Pitt. show.
Thanks for the list!

Ted and I got a look at the Johnson BL 460 at the last Reading show.
SGC 60!

The owner of the BL 460 Johnson is an occasional poster on this board and one of the nicest guys in the hobby. Maybe he will pop in here.

I have tried to post pictures here before with no luck, but I can
forward you a scan of it if you want me to.

Thanks
