Bidders, this is not just any Judy Johnson signature. This incredible letter to a fan offers us exceptional Negro League content by Johnson. He strikes pointedly at major league players and 'calls them out' if you will. Allow us to phrase some of this letter for you. Johnson writes, "...the men you've picked, each one of them were big league players, each team would beat any big league team in a series of games. I've played against all of the men you've picked any were major players; they just won't let a all negro team play in the major league. We played the big league players they could never win the series of play. I would love to see a all Negro team in each league, that would be something to see."
Oh, what could have been. Popularity of Negro League memorabilia has skyrocketed over the years. While Johnson is one of the more relatively easier signatures to pin down, you will be hard pressed to find another like this one. Safe to say this is the only Johnson letter with such important Negro League content which has been offered for sale in recent memory. Letter is affixed to cardboard backing, measures approx. 5.5"x8.5". Minor soiling in overall excellent condition. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
