Tony Cuccinello applied his signature to this 1940 Play Ball card in black fiber tip marker, an indicator that this signature was likely applied after his retirement from the game, later than the period in which the card was issued. 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.  The signature grades a perfect GEM MINT 10, however, evenly and boldly written.
