Part-time catcher Johnny Peacock signed this 1940 Play Ball card across his breast, some skipping to the ink relegating the grade on the signature to NM 7.  Peacock passed away in 1981, making this signature a difficult one, as the hobby boom began after Peacock was already gone.  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.
