Thanks so much for these, and for the history of Johnson's photo availability (or lack thereof). I haven't seen the Expos composite with Johnson; would love to find one of those.

FWIW, among the many star-only or H cap Johnson/Astros images in my collection, this is the only photo I've found of him wearing an "actual" 1965 Astros cap.
