Though Ray Berres' signature on this midgrade 1940 Play Ball card is dark, bold, and legible, its technical grade is NM-MT 8, due to some light skipping here and there.  The presentation is outstanding, however.  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.
