Nicknamed "Gunboat" for obvious reasons, Harry Gumbert pitched 15 seasons in the major leagues, for four different teams. A member of the 1942 World Champion Cardinals, Gumbert's best seasons were early in his career, yet he managed to play until he was 40 years old, retiring in 1950. His signature on this 1940 Play Ball card rates a perfect GEM MINT 10 according to PSA/DNA, the card itself an undergraded VG 3. 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.
