Great card! I have a 14 CJ Jackson and Matty. I'm afraid if I pick up a Johnson I will also have to get a Cobb. And I will end up spending $50k or more. I would prefer not to do that at this time.

T206 portrait, by far. Classic baseball card.

I like large cards, but to me the T3 issue is really a small poster. I think a card as something that is small enough to fit into your hand to where you can hold it, curling your fingers and thumb around it. Anyway, I actually prefer the T201 Johnson/Street card that features the large head-to-toe image of Walter on the front. It is also quite colorful.

I really like the Ramly. The M101s are cool too.

That T201 is a very nice looking card. Thanks for sharing! Initially I was thinking t206 portrat, t204, or CJ. Definitely not T3. The last one I bought didn't go so well, and just not a fan of the oversized cards, as beautiful as they are.

Jesse, why not get a card with a real-photo image of WaJo?

The T201 looks like less of a “card” to me than the others you discussed. A T3 is way more of a “card”.

The T206 Johnson portrait is one of my favorite cards of all time. I think it is the best one for you to get. I love the T3’s but the Johnson in that set isn’t as nice as the portrait in my opinion.

Default Definitely a fan of the T206 Portrait
To me it is visually the nicest card I have seen of him. Also gives you the option of not breaking the bank for a great card or going for broke with a rare back should you choose!

Gorgeous! I'd still take the S81, though.

Finally, a fellow with taste .

Johnson has tons of great looking cards, maybe more than any other great pitcher.

I am sure its just an oversight that it hasn't been mentioned yet, but many people say that Walt's nicest card can be found in the T207 set. It is basically a [modern] art piece, and looks [sorta] like him.

Mathewson probably has as many.
