Tough signed card of the "clown prince of baseball," Al Schacht, listed as such on the back of this 1940 Play Ball issue.  Though the ink on the card is not particularly smooth, the signature itself is acceptable, applied dead center along the bottom third of the card.  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.
