Catcher Arndt "Art" Jorgens played 11 seasons for the Yankees between 1929 and 1939, serving as Bill Dickey's backup.  Jorgens won World Series rings in 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938  and 1939, but Dickey played every inning of each World Series game, meaning Jorgens never made a single World Series appearance.  His 1939 Play Ball card has been signed boldly here, authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA.  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.
