The 1940 Play Ball set included a number of retired greats among its many subjects, several of them recently inducted into the burgeoning Baseball Hall of Fame, such as George Sisler, who joined the class of 1939. This SGC 6 shows the erstwhile first baseman looking fairly serious, likely indicating a pose from his managerial days.  Some print lines can be seen running across the card horizontally on a card with well-defined corners and edges.  Some foxing is seen along the right side.  Flipping it over, the reverse looks pretty nice, with foxing evident on the left side.  This back has the desirable preview for the 1940 Play Ball Superman series, which would indeed live up to its billing!
