Clarence "Soup" Campbell ("Soupy" here) managed to work his way into both the 1940 and 1941 Play Ball sets on the basis of his nickname, as he was a non-descript outfielder for two seasons with Cleveland during that time who roomed with Bob Feller.  His 1941 number, here in PSA 3, is a study in determination, which he took off the diamond and onto the battlefield when he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force before the 1942 season. He returned to action with Baltimore in the International League for two seasons after the war ended.  The card has some corner rounding and toning and a background billboard ad that defies easy explanation.
