Pitcher Bucky Walters had a long career, mostly with Cincinnati, with which he won 20 games three times. With a lifetime ERA of 3.30 in a 16 year career, Walters is underrated among contemporary collectors. His signature on this 1940 Play Ball card is exceptional, a clean and bold signature that suffers a tiny bit from some ink skipping. 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.
