He was a two-time AL MVP and 1924 World Series champ. Johnson was elected to the inaugural class of the National Baseball HOF in 1936.

VG overall and comes w/quality double mat and matching 15-1/8x17-1/8" frame w/UV Plexiglas, making for nice display. An exceptional vintage baseball item to have signed by one of the greats.
