Dubbed "Indian" Bob, Johnson was indeed one-quarter Cherokee but always referred to himself as an "American" when questioned about his nationality. He was a heckuva ballplayer, a strong hitter who knocked in over 100 runs in eight seasons. He put in nine solid minor league seasons as well, both before and after his time in the bigs, slaying into his mid-40's. He's looking happy on his 1939 Play Ball card, which does have paper loss on the back from scrapbook removal.  He's signed the front in blue ballpoint, the large signature looking pretty sweet and a little jaunty.  Johnson passed in 1982, and as a result, his signature is difficult to obtain on cards.  The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.
