Tough signed card of Hall of Fame pitcher Red Faber, a popular pitcher who spent his entire 20-year career with the Chicago White Sox.  Faber won 20 games four times, finishing with a 254-213 lifetime record and an ERA of 3.15.  He was one of the 17 spitball pitchers grandfathered in to baseball  after the pitch was outlawed.  He still holds the White Sox record for most games pitched.  He passed away in Chicago in 1976.  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.
