Represented as "Pete Jablonowski" in the 1933 Goudey set, Peter Appleton, aka the "Polish Wizard," legally changed his name in 1934. An accomplished pianist, Appleton felt his birth name was a detriment, particularly if he chose a career in music. After his playing career, he continued as a scout and minor league manager for another 20 years. He died in 1974. 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.
