ClintonJoe, I think it is from 1912 or shortly thereafter. First,the style of the postcard has nothing to do with the dating. Check out JC's site and look at the Harry Lord postcard. He has an original copy used to make a postcard similar to the Johnson as well as the finished product. This postcard is dated 1910. Second, the NOKO stamp on the back of JC's card dates it from 1904-1920's. I have one that has a CYKO stamp that dates it from 1907-1920's. Next, I also have a postcard taken by the same photographer using an identical photo of Johnson playing an exhibition game in Humbolt, Kansas and is dated 1912. A postcard like this one was also in the Hunt auction referenced in the above post.
