Attractive signed 1940 Play Ball card of Doc Cramer, the signature graded MINT 9 by PSA/DNA.  Cramer, hailing from the New Jersey shore, was signed by the Philadelphia Athletics in 1928.  In June of 1932, Cramer set a record by going 6-for-6 in a nine inning game, and then did it a second time in 1935.  Cramer played 20 Major League seasons, retiring with a .296 lifetime average and five All-Star appearances, returning to the Jersey Shore where a street is named in his honor.  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.
