Known as one of the first relief specialists, from 1936 through 1940, Mace Brown appeared in 47, 50, 51, 47 and 48 games, respectively, then considered quite a bit of work.  He signed this card in blue ink, the signature garnering a grade of MINT 9 with PSA/DNA.  The card itself grades GOOD 2, a very tiny edge tear that we missed along the left border, along with some minor wrinkling and print roller lines.  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.
